People's Choice for Best Artist
Kevin McBride
Kevin began painting at an early age and describes himself as a romantic and a perfectionist. He truly captures the essence of Assateague and Chincoteague Islands in his paintings.  His art work has been displayed at many prestigious art shows throughout the country and his originals can be found in Canada, Europe, Australia, and Asia.  Visit Kevin at the Osprey Nest Art Gallery on Main Street.
 
Fine art has been a part of the Easter Decoy Show for many years.  The show has expanded in recent years to include sculptures, jewelry made of sea glass and stone, mosaic tiles, hand-woven baskets, model boats, photography, and other handmade items.  The list of "artists" is quite extensive and varied--limited only by the imagination.
