Creative Life offered an audio tour of arts, culture, and inspiration on the Cape and Islands. Our region is rich with creative diversity, and so are the stories we tell.Creative Life is edited by Jay Allison.Creative Life is made possible by The Circle of Ten, ten local businesses and organizations committed to local programming on WCAI.

Nick Nickerson, Reluctant Artist

Nick Nickerson of Chatham was a commercial fisherman for more than fifty years. Now he’s semi-retired and he makes seashell decorations to pass the time.  Some people are calling these decorations art, and even though his mirrors fetch a price in the galleries of Cape Cod, Nick is not sure how he feels about the new title. Jackie Mitchell has the story.

Jay Allison edits Creative Life and this piece comes from our production partners Atlantic Public Media, through their media training program, the Transom Story Workshop in Woods Hole.
