Fabara was born in Ambato, Ecuador in 1964, and moved to the Astoria neighborhood of Queens, New York when she was seven years old.
[4] She started calling herself Lady Pink because of her love of historical romances, England, the Victorian period, and the aristocracy.
[5] In 1983, she played the leading role in the film Wild Style,[6] and was involved with a book entitled Subway Art by Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant.
[citation needed] She has focused her career on using graffiti and murals as acts of rebellion and self-expression, and empowering women.
[10] Within a few years, Lady Pink began running with the graffiti crews TC5 (The Cool 5) and TPA (The Public Animals).
[5] Lady Pink's studio paintings often use themes of New York City Subway trains and POP-surrealist cityscapes.
[citation needed] Lady Pink now visits schools to teach students about the power of art and how it can serve as a medium for self-expression and community engagement.
