Paul Nilsson hasn't always had a career as an artist. After teaching High School Art and coaching Track & Field and Cross Country at Williamston High School for 36 years, Nilsson retired to begin his career as a Studio Artist. This year, Mr. Nilsson (no pun, intended. Well, maybe a little) is exhibiting his work in ArtPrize!
