FEATURED ARTISTANDREW DECLARAAndrew DeClara is an artist and illustrator living in Oceanside, New York. He is currently working on several projects including illustrating novels. He has drawn, painted, and worked on visual artwork all his life.
Andrew's process for creating illustrations involves selecting a book, then developing a detailed illustration for every page of the book. One page is read at a time, prompting visual output. His illustrations for each page create a more interactive story-telling experience. The process is a unique way to represent the story. The book he is currently illustrating is the juvenile mystery fiction novel, The House with a Clock in its Walls (1973) by the American author John Bellairs. |

LOCAL ARTISTKATHLEEN CRAVOTTAMost of my time is spent with my family and at my job in software development. I currently live in Oceanside and have lived in Nassau County most of my adult life. I grew up in Queens and always enjoyed drawing and crafts. As an adult, watercolor paintings appealed to me and I took some lessons. I look forward to learning more about watercolor and practicing more.
