Laila is a self-taught artist based in New Jersey. Her father works in the art business and a collector, allowing Laila to grow up around art and learn to use it as a creative and therapeutic outlet. In recent years, Laila began selling her pieces independently and in galleries such as the Lilac Gallery in New York City and the Denis Leon Gallery in Boca Raton, Florida.
One of Laila's distinctive styles is her hand-cutting of the maps and acetate in the shape of butterflies, which adds an ethereal quality to her work. Her pieces are a reflection of her personal experiences and emotions. She aims to evoke similar feelings in the viewers of her paintings and textured collages.
