A lifelong artist, Gretchen Kish Serrano

has always enjoyed painting. As a graduate

of Northern Illinois University, she studied

graphic design and advertising. While

working as an art director at Leo Burnett Advertising in Chicago on various accounts including Hallmark Cards, Gretchen also

studied at the Art Institute of Chicago.

These experiences together with the life-

changing adoption of Sophie, her rescued

beagle-whippet from the Anti-Cruelty Society 

in Chicago, have been the inspiration behind 

the creation of Paw Palettes. The artist lives in Florida with her husband, two young children
and Sophie—her first inspiration!



What about Pet Portraits?

I have painted commissioned work and would love
to accept more. However, 
all my free time is spent creating the Paw Palettes Art Collection. I do have a waiting list. If you are interested, please email me the
art style of your preference and I'll contact you as my schedule allows. Thank you for your interest!
