Lady Pink of New York
She broke the graffiti exclusive’s boys club in 1979
Painting subway trains in New York City
She would have been fifteen at that time
A cult figure in a hip hop culture
She had her first solo show at twenty-one
Through artistic self-expression, a rebellion of one
Her parents called her Sandra, she was born in Equator
But she was the talk of New York
“Lady Pink” as she is referred to in graffiti circles
is today at the age of fifty-seven
Established in the world of fine art
She holds mural workshops
But at night, I bet she is still painting subway trains.
