Petal is known for the iconic "peligro abejas", or "danger bees", that began invading the streets of LA in the 1990's and continue to appear on walls worldwide, as well as in movies, music videos, and publications. She persists in carrying on the ancient tradition of graffiti/hieroglyphics, currently studying Arabic calligraphy, as well as Sumerian Cuneiform script and we are so happy to have Petal as one of the exhibiting artists of Hello World which opens April 20 at The Service Station.
Please stay tuned for more iconic artwork by Petal and further info...
