Paint Your Life uses the visual arts, recognized as intrinsically healing in nature, to facilitate positive changes for Australians in need. The purpose of embedding the PYL philosophy in these terms is to facilitate better health outcomes and well-being in the lives of those in need. These ‘better health outcomes and well-being’ include, but are not limited to emotional, physical, psychological, cognitive, and social needs. PYL recognizes art as a form of therapy, giving those in need the ability to paint and otherwise participate in the visual arts.
