Lady Pink was born in Ecuador, raised in NYC, and currently resides in the countryside north of the city. In 1979 she started writing graffiti and soon became well known as the only female capable of competing with the boys in the graffiti subculture. Pink painted subway trains from the years 1979-1985 and in 1982 had a starring role in the motion picture "Wild Style". That role and her other significant contributions to graffiti have made her a cult figure in the hip-hop subculture.
She began exhibiting paintings in galleries while still in high school, and at the age of 21 had her first solo show at the Moore College of Art. As a leading participant in the rise of graffiti-based art, Lady Pink's canvases have entered important art collections such as those of the Whitney Museum, the MET in New York City, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Fine Art in Boston and the MoMA. She has not only established herself in the fine arts world, but also the fashion world. Collaborating with Louis Vuitton, Supreme, and Lancôme, her paintings are highly prized by collectors.
Today, Lady Pink continues to create new paintings on canvas that express her unique personal vision. She also shares her 40 years of experience with teens by holding mural workshops and actively lecturing to college students throughout the world.
