During her second marriage, Lamba destroyed much of her early work, and made more solemn, quiet work, more in tune with Hare's own sculptures. Lamba once explained to a friend that "she had painted Surrealism to please Breton and expressionist landscapes to please Hare." And how in 1977, after the dissolution of her marriages, in the peace and solitude she found in the aftermath, "she was painting for herself." She stared again from the basics, working through portraiture and landscapes, settling on her mature style fragmented, puzzle-like nature scenes. By the end of her life, Lamba made art that reflected an identity composed of parts of parts to make a whole.
