"Having painted away some of her heartaches Laila gradually settled into a lighter mood. Unearthing Mohenjodaro (Mound of the Dead) and discovering Buddha gave her ideas for her second major theme. Laila enjoys the privilege of being the first artist to draw inspiration from the archaeological sites of the Indus Valley and Taxila."
