Local Artist, Jay Pullman, Shares Artwork with St. James Mercy Hospital
Press Release (PDF)
Arkport artist Jay Pullman, whose family has a longstanding
connection with St. James Mercy Hospital (SJMH), 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.
Local artist, Jay Pullman, puts the finishing touches on the temporary
display of his artwork at St. James Mercy Hospital.

"We are thrilled to have these beautiful prints displayed in the public areas of the hospital," said
Sylvia Bryant, VP 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.
