Initially hailed as ‘The female Banksy’, Bambi has since forged her own identity within the graffiti art scene and has found worldwide acclaim with her gritty politically charged, and witty commentary. She often creates stencils of topical contemporary figures and relates them to popular culture. After receiving an MA from Central St Martins, Bambi’s prominence skyrocketed. A notable exhibition of hers was during the 57th Venice Biennale, where she revealed The Pope Gives Us Hope, a waterfront piece that referenced the Pope’s calls to end climate change. Perhaps her most infamous work is ‘Lie Lie Land’, a stencil of Theresa May and Donald Trump dancing in the pose made famous by the film, La La Land. These brutal reflections of society have gained her a dedicated following on social media platforms as well as a celebrity clientele including Rihanna, Brad Pitt and Adele.
One of Bambi's favourite artworks is a Rembrandt self-portrait in the collection of Kenwood House.
