Our Mission
Create with Purpose
Painting for Purpose encourages people to slow down, get creative and make a positive difference through art.
I believe creativity should be accessible to everyone - whether you’re looking for a mindful moment to yourself, a fun activity with friends, or simply a new way to express yourself.

A LITTLE NOTE FROM FENYI
Painting for Purpose started with my love of textured art and a desire to help make a difference. This kit was created so you can experience the joy of making your own artwork while helping support charity too.
