ONE SCULPTURE<br />
AT A TIME ON<br />
NAHANT BEACH<br />
BY CHARLIE McKENNA<br />
MAGAZINE STAFF<br />
Regular visitors to Nahant Beach<br />
are probably familiar with Gary<br />
White’s work, whether they know it<br />
or not.<br />
In the summer, White, a Nahant<br />
resident, can be seen on the beach almost<br />
every other day working on elaborate<br />
sand sculptures. A retired art teacher,<br />
White’s work took him around the<br />
world before he arrived in Nahant<br />
at the onset of the COVID-19<br />
pandemic. With the beach<br />
functioning as his backyard, White<br />
brought his artistic skill to the sand.<br />
White documents his work on<br />
Instagram, sculpting and carving<br />
everything from ice cream cones<br />
