About Pen+Pine

Hi - I am Jenna Catsos, a Northern California-based illustrator and the woman behind Pen+Pine. I am known for my whimsical line drawings of plants, maps, and everyday objects. My line of illustrated goodies includes cards, prints, bandanas, mugs, buttons, and more! Pen+Pine is my small illustration company focused on creating swoon-worthy, handmade designs. I hand-draw all of the illustrations, then turn them into products for you to give, receive, and cherish. The aim of Pen+Pine is to use illustration as a way to remind us all to slow down, follow our curiosity, and appreciate the whimsical nature of everyday objects. I hope my illustrations make you stop, smile, and look closer. ​ I run Pen+Pine from the small shed-turned-studio in my garden on the redwood coast in Northern California. All of my work begins by putting pen to paper, then I draw it digitally using my iPad and Apple Pencil. The combination of simple hand-drawn lines with the accuracy of digital tools helps create my signature clean, crisp illustrations. I founded Pen+Pine with the intention of creating high-quality products in the most sustainable way possible. Everything is printed and produced locally, using recycled materials and eco-conscious processes. All packaging is reused or recycled, and even the "plastic" sleeves for cards are plant-based and compostable.Read their story
