This upcoming March is a time to celebrate the incredible achievements and contributions of women throughout history. As we recognize Women's History Month, we’re spotlighting some extraordinary female street artists who have shaped the landscape of urban art. These pioneering women have broken boundaries, challenged norms, and created works that speak to a vast range of social and cultural issues. Here at The Private Gallery, we are showcasing the art of four remarkable women who have made their mark in the world of street art: Lady Pink, Faith 47, Mick La Rock, and Ledania.
Lady Pink: The Queen of Graffiti
When it comes to the early days of graffiti, there are few names more iconic than Lady Pink. Born in Ecuador and raised in New York City, she emerged as one of the first women to gain recognition in the male-dominated graffiti scene of the 1980s. Known for her bold, vivid murals and intricate letterforms, Lady Pink used her art to break through barriers and challenge the limitations imposed on women in street art.
Her signature style—often featuring a combination of bold colors and intricate, stylized lettering—has made her a symbol of empowerment for women in street art. Lady Pink is not only an artist but a trailblazer who has inspired countless women to pick up a spray can and claim their space in this vibrant form of creative expression. Her powerful, socially conscious pieces challenge gender stereotypes, tackle issues of identity, and celebrate individuality. As we celebrate Women's History Month, we honor Lady Pink for her trailblazing work and lasting influence on the world of street art. Click here for available works.
Faith 47: A Visionary with a Message
South African artist Faith 47 brings an emotionally charged, poetic sensibility to the urban landscape. Her work often touches on themes of spirituality, human connection, and the beauty of nature, with a keen focus on the fragility of the world around us. Faith 47’s murals, painted in evocative hues of dark and light, transport viewers into a dreamlike state while subtly urging us to think critically about the world we live in.
Faith 47’s murals often feature powerful figures, animal symbolism, and intricate patterns that evoke the interconnectedness of life. Through her work, she elevates the female form as a symbol of strength, resilience, and transformation. Faith 47’s art is a perfect reflection of the transformative power of street art, and her contributions during Women's History Month remind us that women’s voices can—and should—be heard loud and clear, especially when it comes to the visual arts.

Mick La Rock: A Bold and Playful Approach
Mick La Rock brings her unique perspective and sense of fearlessness to the world of street art. With a playful approach, Mick fuses bright color palettes, and bold geometric shapes that make her work instantly recognizable.
Mick’s art in The Private Gallery has sharp lines but maintains the convention of femininity through the use of different shades of pink from pastel to fluorescent. Mick proves that street art doesn’t just have to be serious—it can also be a medium for joy, liberation, and exploration. Click here for available works.
Ledania: A Global Voice for the Marginalized
Ledania, an artist whose work has graced the walls of cities across the globe, brings a bright and fun approach to street art. Originally from Colombia, her pieces often explore themes of identity with bright colors that are representative of her Latin American heritage. Whether its mystical animals and insects or imaginary landscapes, Ledania's colorblocking style has been finding its way onto the biggest buildings and into incredible collections.
