Laila Rahman works in both the disciplines of Painting and Printmaking. She has been a student at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design, London; the Slade School of Fine Art, London and the prestigious National College of Arts where she teaches at the Department of Fine Arts.

Rahman relies on both aspects of her training, meshing these ways of seeing and working in her art practice. She was awarded a Fulbright Award in 2010, which she spent at the School of the Museum of Fine Art, SMFA Boston MA, ending the year with a solo exhibition.

Her work is in the House of Commons Permanent Collection, London; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Cartwright Hall, Bradford; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston MA, USA; the Permanent Collection of the National College of Arts and in private collections in Africa, Australia, Canada, Europe, India, Pakistan, Turkey, United Kingdom and USA.
