CoolColorPhotos represents a new approach to workplace wellness that delivers immediate emotional benefits through digital art viewing. Created by author and artist Andrew Lawrence, this free digital wellness program builds on established research demonstrating that viewing art can quickly reduce stress, calm the nervous system, increase positive emotion, and improve mental clarity. The program offers organizations an opportunity to sponsor a proven wellness tool that requires no onboarding, training, software, or cost to users.
With zero administrative burden, CoolColorPhotos eliminates common barriers to wellness program participation by requiring no setup, downloads, login credentials, or personal data collection. The platform works on any phone, tablet, or computer and is accessible worldwide 24/7, making it relevant to diverse age groups and backgrounds. According to Lawrence, the connection between employee happiness and productivity drives the program's value proposition. A happier employee is a more productive employee, he notes, positioning CoolColorPhotos as a solution for organizations seeking to reduce burnout, turnover, and stress-related illness.
The program's design supports micro-breaks that fit naturally into workdays, providing immediate stress relief without disrupting workflow. Sponsors receive prominent recognition while helping maintain the program's free public access. In return for underwriting the program, organizations gain association with well-being and positivity, a high-value perk for employees or members, and a unique corporate social responsibility initiative. Sponsors also receive the right to distribute the program as a wellness benefit and can create custom landing pages with their branding.
The program features a curated collection of 4,000 original fine-art images hosted on the prestigious Fine Art America platform. Users access the seamless website experience at CoolColorPhotos.com, where they can view art specifically created to deliver emotional wellness benefits. Lawrence describes the initiative as art as wellness—made practical, immediate, and free to users. Current workplace challenges make CoolColorPhotos particularly relevant, as organizations seek affordable wellness solutions amid budget constraints and high stress levels.
The program delivers immediate stress relief with no barriers to participation, zero recurring workload, universal relevance, and meaningful emotional improvement. Lawrence, a Los Angeles-based artist and author of more than 20 personal development books, has spent the last six years creating the 4,000 cool colorful fine art photos that form the program's foundation. This initiative matters because it addresses the growing need for accessible mental health support in workplaces while eliminating traditional barriers to wellness program adoption, offering a scalable solution that requires minimal organizational investment while delivering measurable benefits to employee wellbeing and productivity.
