She worked in ink and pencil drawing, and mostly lithography since 1972.
In Mare Vint's work of the second half of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s, a style emerged, characterized by the black-and-white contrast of the drawings, in which color is more conditional.{{cite web | last=Vint | first=Mare | title=English | website=NOAR Nordic and Baltic contemporary art platform | date=2012-11-05 | url=https://noar.eu/en/ | access-date=2020-05-11}}
