Having always been drawn to mediums that allow smooth, human expression. Her earliest pieces have always had an element of emotion. In essence, self-expression and identity are important base elements to the work. She makes collages that include multiple textures and mixed media. She enjoys the exploration of different themes surrounding identity, race, feminism, and intimacy. Self is the subject that she further investigates the most because its who she knows the most; discovering what it means to capture personal emotion/feelings in art. Using more than paint and canvas, she enjoys decorating paintings and does so with care.

 Lailee is conscious of using reusable materials, along with upcycling found materials; these materials she finds to have the most potential and characteristics to work with. Material exploration is always going on and this is because most of the time she is using objects that she is drawn to and figuring out how to blend them together in order to create something whole. She uses herself as the subject and experiences as inspiration.
