In 2012, Pinto was chosen for a Visiting Artist program at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He worked on that historic 300 acre site for a year producing a suite of watercolors and oil paintings and numerous ink sketches. Critic John Perrault first gave his paintings notice in the early 1980s; some of these can be found in the collections of First Boston Corporation, Lloyd's Bank International and Bank of New York, as well as private collections in New York and elsewhere. Pinto was a director of The Artists Project, a public art effort funded by New York City that included painters, poets, dancers, photographer, and others in the 1970s. Pinto's work has been in numerous New York galleries over the years, including Barbara Gladstone, Forum, and Bernaducci, as well as Paul McCarron Fine Prints and Drawings. He served as a vice president and secretary of The Federation of Modern Painters and Sculptors until recently. He took professional instruction first from Biagio Pinto (no relation) at Philadelphia College of Art, then continued in New York at Pratt Institute, and School of Visual Arts.
