One afternoon when MeMe was 17 at the Truckee California Skate Park where she skateboarded with mostly boys, Meme watched a freight train pass by that was transformed by vivid, spray-painted letters. Her sense of social justice already ran deep, and that graffiti was a beautiful act of defiance to her.
Beautiful Act of Defiance
MeMe quickly developed a signature graff style that wove in her sense of local culture, she also discovered another talent: Her work with plants grew into a profession where she could enhance weddings, photoshoots, and events. murals, skateboarding, and flowers are the trifecta of her creative life. She is the first woman graffiti artist to get sponsored by Monster energy.
Surrounded by men in the skate and art culture, she gravitated toward other women artists of all kinds. Meme’s high energy style of magnetizing people together produced an all-female mural in industrial West Oakland. She noticed that all the ladies there supported each other rather than competing, and the success of that public art inspired her to form Few and Far. This all-women street art and skateboard crew is a 20-member, international organization that has completed over 100 art commissions and projects in the U.S and abroad.
