Lady Pink

Lady Pink is an artist born in Ecuador and raised in New York who began writing graffiti in 1979. She painted subway trains into the mid-1980s, exhibited paintings while still at school and appeared in the film Wild Style. Her work helped establish a prominent female presence in a largely male graffiti scene.

Alongside murals, Pink has continued making paintings for exhibitions and collections. Her work is held by institutions including the Whitney Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art and Brooklyn Museum. She has also collaborated with fashion and beauty brands and taught young artists through mural workshops and lectures.
