20 x 16"
Laila J, a watercolor artist based in New York, has cultivated her artistic journey through a profound immersion in art history and architecture. Laila J draws her inspiration from the eclectic tapestry of street art and graffiti that adorns various corners of New York City, including the culturally rich neighborhoods of Lower East Side, Soho, and West Village. These urban artworks serve as her muse, and she is driven by a mission to preserve and document this vibrant and ephemeral art form, almost akin to creating a living archive of the city's visual language.
