Robin Barcus-Slonina is a multidisciplinary artist whose work includes bodypainting, sculpture, painting, installation and performance art. Much of her work is interactive, inviting the viewer to experience the art rather than simply observe it. Slonina enjoys taking the "Do Not Touch" sign off of her art, inviting people to recognize art as an integral and fun component of everyday life.

Robin is also a Producer and Judge on the hit body painting competition show Skin Wars, alongside RuPaul Charles, Rebecca Romijn and Craig Tracy - now in it's 3rd season on Netflix.

Robin graduated from School of the Art Institute in her native Chicago, but Las Vegas has been her adopted home for the past decade. She loves the culture of support and creativity found in the Vegas Arts District, where she runs the world famous Skin City Body Painting art studio. She lives in Vegas with her son Leo and her husband Jimmy Slonina, who is a performer with Cirque du Soleil.

Her art has been exhibited in Chicago at: the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Smart Museum of Art, the Peace Museum, the Contemporary Art Workshop, the University of Chicago, DePaul University & Artemisia Gallery; in Wisconsin at: the John Michael Kohler Arts Center; in Iowa at: The Cedar Rapids Museum of Art; in England at: the Doncaster Earth Centre & Compton Verney Museum; in the Netherlands at: Iijsselland College; in New York at: The Baraka Art Complex & Immersive Gallery; and locally in Las Vegas at: UNLV's Tam Gallery, the Arts Factory, Emergency Arts, Atomic Todd Gallery, The Smith Center, and the Springs Preserve, among many others.
