About

Pen and Ink was started by sisters, Penelope and Jane.

Penelope, better known as Penny, is an artist who has spent the last 25 years creating custom residential sketches. She is literally the "Pen" in Pen and Ink. Penny first began creating pen & ink artwork when she opened her retail store and painting studio, The Waterway Workshop, in Occoquan, Virginia in 1998.

In 2023, Penny began focusing her time on creating an incredible portfolio of historically signifcant buildings, monuments, churches and bridges across the United States. Penny and her husband, David, live in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Jane has been a lifelong creative entrepreneur who enjoys building small businesses from the ground up. Most recently, she ran a successful business in Mill Valley, CA, The Makery, where local artists and makers taught creative workshops to adults. Jane lives in Minneapolis, MN with her husband, Tim, and their two boys.

Penny and Jane grew up just south of Washington DC and the historic district of Old Town, Alexandria in Mount Vernon, VA.
