The Healing Power of Art
Pittsford Fine Art
4 N Main St.
Sep 2, 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Maynard is the featured artist for September at Pittsford Fine Art, the artists-run gallery at the heart of downtown Pittsford. Maynard, one of the gallery’s original members, will be present in the gallery during its First Friday event on September 2 from 5 to 8 p.m.

Maynard, who works in multiple media, often in bold colors and shapes, says the beautiful scenes and objects she paints can be things that might go unnoticed, but whose depiction serves a higher purpose than merely celebrating beauty. “I believe in the healing power of art,” said Maynard, who is CEO of The Healing Connection in Rochester. “Art provides a place for the mind to take a break from repetitive and potentially harmful thoughts. It can transport you to a state of meditation that helps clear and relax the mind.”

Pittsford Fine Art is open Tuesday through Thursday, noon to 5 p.m.; Friday, noon to 8 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parking is available in front of the gallery at 4 North Main Street, or at the nearby public parking lot.

The most recent work by Maynard and the gallery’s other artists is on display and sold at the gallery and on the gallery’s website at pittsfordfineart.com.
