Paul Sawyier* of Kentucky

The "River Artist" of Kentucky, Paul Sawyier

Paul Sawyier, one of Kentucky's most renowned artists, was born in 1865 to parents Nathaniel J. and Ellen (Wingate) Sawyier at Table Rock Farm in Madison County, Ohio. Five years later, the Sawyiers took up residence in Frankfort on Broadway in a genteel neighborhood described as "a very select part of town" occupied by "a choice group of families."

Considered affectionately as "the flower" of the five children, young Sawyier was encouraged early to pursue a career in the arts. Ellen, his mother, was an accomplished pianist who taught all of her children to play an instrument. (In his later years, Paul was considered an accomplished pianist as well as guitarist.) His father, Nathaniel Sawyier, wished to be an artist in his youth; however, lack of parental support caused him to be pushed into a career as a physician instead. Throughout his life, Dr. Sawyier was often seen in the backyard of his Broadway home painting with watercolors or creating clay sculptures. The birth of Paul was considered to "be the answer to a prayer that had been stifled."
