Arkport artist Jay Pullman, whose family has a longstanding connection with St. James Mercy Hospital has loaned a collection of prints to SJMH for display in its recently renovated lobby and emergency room hallway areas.
Pullman, a local artist of larger renown, shows his work widely around the greater Hornell area and has expanded into galleries in the Rochester area. A former teacher who came to painting as a passion, he draws inspiration from the natural environment of the Finger Lakes and the Southern Tier and from places as diverse as Provence and Tuscany.
“We are thrilled to have these beautiful prints displayed in the public areas of the hospital,” said Sylvia Bryant, vice president of mission integration and community outreach. “They add a warm and inviting touch to our newly remodeled hallways and lobby.”
Pullman has said that behind each of his works is “a thread of a story” that inspires the piece and also helps connect the viewer to the work of art. The current prints on display depict scenes from around the greater Hornell area and include “Sudden Storm,” “Sun Valley Summer,” “Waiting for Spring,” “Newfield Family, and “On the Shore.” All the prints are for sale, and the artist has generously pledged to donate sale proceeds to the St. James Mercy Foundation.
In addition, some of Pullman’s artwork has been made into greeting cards, which are also available for sale in SJMH’s Aquinas gift shops starting next week
The connection between St. James Mercy Hospital and the Pullman family stretches from the
legacy of the late Dr. James Pullman, a long‐time family practitioner in Hornell, to the creation more recently, in 2005, of the Pullman Women’s Health and Birthing Center.
“We are grateful for the Pullman family’s generous support over the years and for Jay’s willingness to share some of his beautiful art with our employees and visitors,” Bryant said.
