Lady Pink

Lady Pink (Sandra Fabara, born 1964 in Ecuador) is an Ecuadorian-American graffiti artist and muralist active in New York. As a child, she left Ecuador and grew up in Astoria, Queens. She attended the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan.

Lady Pink started doing graffiti in 1979. Until 1985, she painted New York subway trains, one of the few women accepted in that world at the time. In 1980, she took part in the exhibition "GAS: Graffiti Art Success for America" at Fashion Moda. She founded the women's collective Ladies of the Arts. She then acted in "Wild Style", the film by Charlie Ahearn.

Lady Pink moved on to canvas while still at high school. At 21, she presented her first solo exhibition at Moore College of Art in Philadelphia. After they met in the early 1980s, she and Jenny Holzer made canvases together that combined the texts of one with the images of the other. The two artists were shown together again in 2023 at K21 in Düsseldorf. Her works are held by the Whitney Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum and the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands.

Lady Pink now paints canvases and large murals. From June 2025 to May 2026, her mural "Foundations" covers the courtyard of MoMA PS1 in Queens, with brick constructions and a 7 line subway train.
