Lady Pink, born Sandra Fabara in 1964, is an Ecuadorian-American graffiti and mural artist who has been active in the street art scene since the late 1970s. She is often referred to as the "First Lady of Graffiti" because of her pioneering role as a female graffiti artist in a male-dominated field. Lady Pink grew up in New York City, where she became involved in the graffiti art scene as a teenager. She started her career by tagging subway cars and buildings throughout the city. Her work was quickly recognized for its unique style, bold colors, and intricate details. In 1980, at the age of 16, she was included in the "GAS: Graffiti Art Success" exhibition at the Fashion Moda gallery in the South Bronx, which was one of the first graffiti art shows. Throughout the 1980s, Lady Pink collaborated with other notable graffiti artists, such as Lee Quiñones and Futura 2000. She was also featured in the 1983 documentary "Style Wars" and the 1982 film "Wild Style," both of which focused on the New York City hip-hop and graffiti culture of the time. Over the years, Lady Pink has evolved from strictly graffiti art to creating murals, canvases, and sculptures, often with a focus on social issues and female empowerment. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of the City of New York. As an advocate for female artists and a role model for many, Lady Pink has also been involved in education, teaching young people about art and encouraging them to express themselves through creative outlets.
