Sage Sawyer is a Southern Tonto Apache First Semi-band from the settlement of Bylas, Arizona, San Carlos Apache, and Walapai Apache artist, painter, and writer who was 1 of 10 nominated out of hundreds for the Native American Artist of the Year Award in 2022 by USNA. Sawyer's art has made frequent appearances within Bliss Fest events, an annual festival that takes place in Levering, Michigan the first weekend of July.

Background

Sage Sawyer grew up in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, then moved back to an Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona many times. He drew images from graphic novels, horror, and cartoons growing up and sites these as his inspirations. Completed welding school while attending at BMCC from 2017-2019, Sawyer attended many high schools before graduating at Malcolm High School, when he created street art for his first commissions for many local businesses and for the city of Sault Ste. Marie's Downtown Development.

Artwork

Scribbling incessantly throughout early grade school, it was a local business owner of an art store who took interest in his early work that sparked his interest in the art world. A moody painting of a moon had been hanged on the gallery wall of the business' store, shortly after many customers asked about it and after a serious offer by a patron to the owner, Sage knew there could be some value to his artwork. In high school he found success after being commissioned by the city of Sault Ste. Marie to make several murals for a daycare, street art Little Italy Fest that stretched two city blocks, and window art for other local businesses for the annual I-500 snowmobiling event for many years. Sawyer mainly offers private commissions.
