Robin Slonina was volunteering at an artist-created miniature golf course in the Arts District, when Maria the SnakeBabe and her magician husband, Steve August, walked in. The three struck up a conversation. Maria needed her body painted like a snake. Slonina was an artist. Would she paint Maria? Sure. She’d never really done it before, but why not?

Andy Warhol brought a “factory” to New York City decades ago, and now local multidisciplinary artist Robin Barcus Slonina brings a “sweat shop” to Las Vegas. Like the Pop Art pioneer, Slonina is churning out bright, hyper-colored and playful aesthetics taken from everyday life.
