art can change the world... and so can you
I believe art can change the world — and that giving back is one of the most meaningful ways to live a Great Big Life.
That’s why Peter Ashworth Art was founded as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) — a business built to serve humanity through creativity, compassion, and purpose.
Giving back matters—because life’s greatest art isn’t just what we create, it’s what we contribute.
Every act of generosity connects us, uplifts others, and reminds us that we’re part of something bigger.
Generous people are the light-bringers of humanity.
business with a purpose:
What it means to be a public benefit corp.
A Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) is a new kind of business—one that is legally required to consider the public good. That means my business decisions must not only drive profit, but additionally must benefit people, society, and our planet.
This structure ensures that every painting, print, and project aligns with my mission: to create art that inspires change, uplifts humanity, and leaves the world a little better.
why I give back
I believe in creating more than just world-changing art — I believe in building a better world.
Helping others isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s one of the most powerful ways to live a fulfilling life.
Giving connects us to something greater than ourselves. It inspires purpose, builds empathy, and transforms both the giver and the receiver.
Humanity We: the world needs change
Through my evolving partnership with Humanity We — a charitable organization I founded to support the world’s poorest people and communities — I aim to turn art into tangible impact.
While the charity is still in its early stages, its mission is clear: to uplift lives through creativity, generosity, and love.
A percentage of every sale goes toward supporting Humanity We’s global initiatives — helping provide opportunity, dignity, and hope where it’s needed most.
Great Big Life: a movement for inspired living
I also founded Great Big Life, a movement devoted to living more inspired, adventurous, and fulfilling lives. It’s about transformation, experience, and taking action — creating habits and mindsets that allow us to feel truly alive while leaving a lasting legacy.
“Great Big Life is a movement for people who refuse to live small. It’s about adventure, transformation, and taking action to live large.”
Great Big Life isn’t just about personal growth — it’s about building a world where inspired individuals become forces for good.
the science of giving:
How generosity makes us happier and healthier.
Research shows that giving back benefits not only others —but you as well.
- Neuroscience: Acts of giving activate the brain’s reward centers, releasing dopamine and endorphins — creating a “helper’s high.”
- Happiness Studies: People who regularly give or volunteer consistently report higher life satisfaction and greater happiness.
- Health Benefits: Giving has been linked to lower stress, reduced blood pressure, and even longer lifespan.
- Cultural Universality: Across every culture studied, giving and kindness are universal pathways to joy.
the deeper benefits of giving
Giving to others provides you with:
- A Sense of Purpose: Aligning your actions with meaning.
- Gratitude: Deep appreciation for what you have.
- Connection: Stronger relationships and a sense of belonging.
- Empathy: Greater understanding of others’ experiences.
- Resilience: Strength to face life’s challenges.
- Personal Growth: Discovering hidden capacities for compassion and creativity.
- Good Karma: Positive energy that ripples forward into your life.
Through giving, we don’t just change others’ lives — we transform our own.
together, we create change
Giving back isn’t merely an act of charity — it’s a creative expression of love, empathy, and connection.
Through art, community, and compassion, we can build a more beautiful, meaningful world — one act, one art piece, one person at a time.
Thank you for being part of this journey through your purchase. I truly appreciate you, and your deep understanding of how, working together, we can build a better, more inspired world.
Together, we can turn creativity into change — and live a truly Great Big Life.
Generosity is the magic... the more love we give, the richer our hearts become.
