PAMELA BARTLETT OF PINOT'S PALETTE NAPERVILLE SHARES WHAT SHE LOVES LOCALLY DURING SUMMER

Pam is genuine, resilient, and generous - and believes, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," Philippians 4:13.

She loves to travel, paint, read, cook, go to wine tastings, and hang out with friends, family, and her 24-year-old son. Pam had spent more than 25 years working in a business environment with experience in marketing, sales, database management, and social event management when she took the leap of faith in 2013 to open Pinot’s Palette in downtown Naperville, putting her passion into the paint-and-sip franchise.

“I love meeting new people and seeing the joy and pride on everyone's faces when they complete their paintings,”she says.

Pam’s pursuit has paid off earning her a number of awards, including Glancer Magazine’s Reader's Choice Award for Customer Service and several Pinot's Palette’s Golden Brush Awards for top sales. She takes personal pride in giving back to the community by hosting and donating to fundraisers; participating as a Naperville Riverwalk Commissioner; a Downtown Naperville Alliance Board Member; and taking active roles with the Naperville Chamber Of Commerce through Teamwork and the Women in Business Committee.
