Now she unites art with her education in psychology through art therapy, helping children and young adults use sculpture as a means to express their thoughts and emotions. de Lafforest says of her work: ?I never know before starting a piece how it will turn out. The clay itself plays with my hands and shows me the way towards a work, towards a form or a movement. Once finished, I understand the existence of this particular piece. I think that my art is expressive because it comes from inside me, from my intuition, emotions, and everyday experiences.
