The goal of this observational study is to explore whether a single art therapy session can improve mood and reduce symptom burden in adult palliative care patients at a Canadian inpatient unit. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a single art therapy session reduce overall symptom burden, as measured by the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS)? * Does a single art therapy session improve mood, as measured by the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS)? Participants will: * Complete two short questionnaires (ESAS and PANAS) before and after the session * Participate in a 30-60 minute individual art therapy session
