He attributes his success to his love for his profession.

Mr. Laffoley was featured in ‘The Mystery of Genius’, It aired on the Arts and Entertainment Channel in 1998. He has produced an estimated 600 immensely detailed canvases. He has been quoted as saying that at any given time there are dozens of these works already fully-articulated in his mind, waiting to be painted and circling like airplanes in a holding pattern waiting to land. He moved to New York to apprentice with the visionary architect Friedrich Kiesler. He spoke his first word at the age of six months, and then lapsed into four years of silence, having been diagnosed with slight autism. As a child he attended the progressive Mary Lee Burbank School in Belmont, Massachusetts. In 1965, he completed the first paintings of a mature style in the household basement against the wishes of his father on Christmas in 1968. Based on extensive hand written journals documenting his research, diagrams, and footnoted predecessors to various theoretical developments, he began to organize his ideas in a format related to eastern mandalas that had captivated his interest in the spiritual and this format quickly developed into him.
