H.E.Sawyer British-American Artist

This blog is dedicated to highlighting the life and art of British-American artist H.E. Sawyer. Little if nothing can be found online about H.E. Sawyer, but his landscapes capture a British-American immigration history.

Those with more information about H.E. Sawyer or his paintings are welcome to comment on the blog or send me an e-mail. My intent is simply to learn more about this artist and piece together Manx-American immigration stories.

Comments from relatives or art owners are welcome.

The Family Story

My grandfather, Allen F. Hampton, treasured his H.E. Sawyer watercolors. They were passed down from his father, Edward Gilbert Hampton who immigrated from the Isle of Man in to Ogden, Utah in the late 1880's as a Mormon convert.
