The Makers
Who
We Are
Artist
Chasya Leshinsky
Master artist Chasya Leshinsky is renowned for works of exceptional scope and beauty, with pieces exhibited in museums and featured in some of the most elegant private homes across the world.
Scribe
Yitzi Whitman
Yitzi trained one on one under Sofer Yanky Schwartz — whose handwriting forms the basis of the premier 'Guide for Professional Scribes' (Tikun Sofrim) used the world over. He writes in a wide variety of sizes utilizing custom-made ceramic nibs and the occasional feather. His work has been exhibited in a prominent New York gallery.
The Name
Pen & Ink captures the essence of our collaboration — where the precision of the scribe's pen meets the boundless expression of artistic vision. The pen represents Yitzi's meticulous craftsmanship and sacred scribal tradition, while the ink symbolizes Chasya's artistic depth.
The name also honors pen and ink as a timeless artistic medium — where stark contrasts, delicate linework, and bold gestures create works of profound beauty.
