Paul Collins: Painter and (Part Time) Courtroom Sketch Artist

When the Banner needed someone to sketch the recent trial of Glen Casada and Cade Cothren in federal court — where no cameras or digital devices of any kind are allowed — we turned to artist Paul Collins. His courtroom sketches, created on paper with pencil, marker and other dry materials, brought the trial to life for our coverage, along with several other Nashville outlets. Paul knew from a young age that he wanted to be an artist, but his parents didn't necessarily agree with that choice. Still, he found a way into a career, eventually combining his love of art with something else he'd always wanted to do: teach. Paul's recent work has been increasingly public, including free "vote" signs and a large-scale art book project called the Unbannable Library.
