Description
Milena Hughes, active 1983–2008, of Evanston, Illinois, studied illustration in Chicago before learning to marble. Her skill as a draftswoman is evident in this work. Hughes accepted commissions and licensed her designs commercially but was never a production marbler. She is known for her marbled paper designs, fabric, wooden bowls, and interior marbled floor decoration. In 1983, Hughes founded the Marbling Resource Center at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center in Evanston.
