The vision of Lolo Sarnoff combines classical European training with modern materials and new techniques. In the late sixties the artist was introduced to "fiber optics," then a new technology.

Her sense of adventure and previous scientific training led her to create brilliant works with this new medium. Lolo saw past the purely technical aspects to the beauty of this new material. Her works represented the new age that was just over the horizon, the blending of technology into the every day.

Some of Lolo's most inspiring works can be seen in Washington, D.C. The Flame, an indoor version of the eternal flame, in memory of President John F. Kennedy–Lolo's favorite piece–is located at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Opera House, and the Spiral Galaxy at Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum's Gallery of the Planets.

When she first started to exhibit, in the late sixties, Lolo called her work Flolite. By combining plexiglas with the strands of fiber optics, and after being lit, the pieces come to life. Plexiglas is not an easy medium to work with–the use of the table saw can be unforgiving–but looking at Mrs. Sarnoff's work, it is hard to tell. The pieces flow effortlessly and curve gracefully and blend with their surroundings.

Next were added stainless steel and aluminum, used singly or combined with plexiglas, either free standing or wall-hangings. Some of the most playful and whimsical pieces combined these materials, as in The Playground of the Queeches, runner-up for a school project.

Lolo has exhibited nationally and internationally and has received many commissions from corporations, museums and collectors. Through the aesthetic of her art, Lolo combines her scientific background with her sense of joy and wonder of life in all its aspects.
