His Blue Painting was included in the landmark exhibition Afro-American Artists: New York and Boston at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts in 1970. While actively participating in the New York arts scene as a painter, Hines maintained a respected conservation studio whose clients included the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and artist Georgia O'Keeffe.
