to investigate threats against President Garfield and determine the intentions of a strange man stalking the White House named Charles Guiteau, Amanda’s efforts are only rewarded with frustration. Arriving at the Agency during the waning days of its Women’s Detective Bureau, her first assignment as a “Pink” quickly makes her 'blue'. Based loosely on the lives of real female Pinkerton Agents, Amanda is every bit as determined, brave and flawed as her predecessors. Miller’s latest novel, A Pink Lady, Amanda Brown is no different. Often referred to as “Pinks”, agents of Allan Pinkerton’s Detective Agency didn’t allow such derogatory nicknames to prevent them from “getting their man”. And Amanda Brown, an unhappy fugitive from Copper Creek, Missouri, has just become A Pink Lady. William McCarty, alias Billy the Kid, has escaped from his jailers and fled into the New Mexico desert. James Garfield has just been elected the 20 th U.S. She also shares her 20 years of experience by holding mural workshops with kids and actively lecturing college students throughout the Northeast.ST. Pink has mobilized artists into donating public art in culturally neglected communities. Today she runs a small mural company with her artist husband Smith, creating massive works around New York City, constituting one of the few professional teams to originate from the graffiti subculture. Lady Pink continues to mature as an artist, producing ambitious murals commissioned for businesses and creating new paintings on canvas that express her unique personal vision. She has established herself in the fine arts world, and her paintings are highly prized by collectors. As a leading participant in the rise of graffiti-based art, Lady Pink’s canvases have entered important art collections such as those of the Whitney Museum, the MET in New York City, the Brooklyn Museum and the Groningen Museum of Holland. While still in high school she was already exhibiting paintings in art galleries, and at the age of 21 had her first solo show at the Moore College of Art. She is considered a cult figure in the hip-hop subculture since the release of the motion picture “Wild Style” in 1982, in which she had a starring role.

Pink painted subway trains from the years 1979-1985. In 1979 she started writing graffiti and soon was well known as the only female capable of competing with the boys in the graffiti subculture. Lady Pink was born in Ecuador, but raised in NYC.
