Acrylic paint on tan paper

Regina and her husband Dan St. John operate Chena River Marblers in Amherst, Massachusetts. Regina, active 1984–present, specializes in contemporary acrylic marbling. In their workshops, they instruct students in the evolution of traditional and newly devised marbled patterns. This is one of three demonstration sheets in the collection that show pattern development. Both St. Johns teach internationally and marble commercially at their home studio, which has a sales shop for their paper and textile creations.
