Graffiti Artist Lady Pink and the Hard Work that Lead to Her Success | Groundbreaking Women

Called the "First Lady of Graffiti," Pink is a veteran when it comes to rising above: at 15 years old, she started writing graffiti alongside a posse of inner-city boys who introduced her to the enigmatic world of coaxing art from the metallic surfaces of New York City subway trains. “I know I was a token female,” she admits. “But I got my foot in the door, and although I was a novelty, I have kept the door open by always putting out brilliant work.” Along the way, she has cultivated an international sisterhood of other female Graffiti artists, as well as serving as a role model to aspiring young women in art. She declares, “I want people to realize that with determination, hard work, and perseverance, you too can become a success, you can become an artist, and live life to the fullest.” Celebrate International Women's Day and Women's Month with Groundbreaking Women Watch our playlist on Groundbreaking Women: https://bhpho.to/385u3gB See more at B&H Explora: https://bhpho.to/2H995Ez More from Lady Pink Instagram: @ladypinknyc Website: https://www.ladypinknyc.com Shop @ B&H: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/ Subscribe to the B&H Photo YouTube Channel http://bit.ly/SubscribetoBHPhoto Follow us on Social Media   / bhphoto     / bhphoto     / bhphotovideo
