The Glowing Jellyfish Feast
The Glowing Jellyfish Feast
The Glowing Jellyfish Feast
Colored Pencil · 2026

A massive, glowing lion's mane jellyfish drifts through the deep ocean feeding on a moon jellyfish. Its translucent bell shimmers in blue and pink, while golden tentacles trail like ribbons in the current. Tiny jellyfish float in the background alongside colorful coral and sea creatures on the ocean floor. I wanted to capture how mysterious and magical the deep sea feels — like a whole glowing world hidden beneath the waves.

My Birthday Cake
Acrylic · Feb. 2026

A cheerful acrylic painting of a pink drip cake piled high with whipped cream rosettes and bright red cherries, set against a bubbly yellow-green background. I painted this to celebrate my birthday — every cherry on top represents something sweet about the year!

Invasion of the Snakehead
Colored Pencil · Jan. 2026

I learned that snakeheads are invasive fish threatening New Hampshire and Massachusetts' native species like rainbow trout and brook trout. I drew the snakehead front and center, looking powerful and a little scary, while the native fish it threatens swim nearby. I wanted people to see how serious this problem is for our local waterways.

Starry Fins and Fairy Wings
Colored Pencil · Apr. 2025

I love betta fish and I love Van Gogh's Starry Night, so I combined them! A brilliant betta fish swims through a swirling night sky while a tiny fairy fishes from a crescent moon above. I drew every single fin ray by hand with colored pencil — it took a very long time but I'm so happy with how it turned out.

Sunset Symphony of The Sea
Colored Pencil, Acrylic · Jun. 2025

Three Atlantic white-sided dolphins leap joyfully out of the ocean as the sun melts into the horizon in shades of gold, orange, and red. I wanted to capture that magical moment when the sky and sea almost look like they're on fire. The whales feel free and full of energy — like a symphony playing at the very end of the day.

Hermione and Crookshanks
Colored Pencil · Aug. 2025

Hermione Granger is one of my favorite characters — smart, brave, and always reading. I drew her in the Hogwarts library in her Gryffindor robes, with her fluffy orange cat Crookshanks sitting on top of an open book. I used colored pencils to get the warm tones of the bookshelves and Crookshanks's fur just right.

Blossoming Finch Haven
Colored Pencil, Watercolor · Nov. 2025

Two purple finches share a quiet moment on a branch, touching beaks as if whispering to each other. I surrounded them with layers of spring flowers, berries, and lush green leaves, mixing watercolor washes with colored pencil details. Finches visit our yard a lot and I wanted to show just how beautiful and gentle they are.

Oil Pastel · Sep. 2025

Inspired by Roald Dahl's story, this oil pastel painting shows a mother fox and her cub resting in a birch forest surrounded by wildflowers and butterflies. Mrs. Fox looks calm and wise, keeping a watchful eye on her little one. I loved using oil pastels for this piece because they made the fox's orange fur look so warm and rich.

The Little House by the Autumn Lake
Acrylic · Apr. 2024

A cozy little white cottage with a red roof nestles among fiery autumn trees beside a calm lake, with snowy mountains rising in the background. I used acrylic paint to capture how fall colors reflect in still water — the mirror image of the orange and yellow trees in the lake is my favorite part of this painting.

Acrylic · Feb. 2024

A stand of white birch trees glows with golden autumn leaves as the last light of day shimmers on a pond behind them. I painted this with acrylics, focusing on the beautiful contrast between the black-and-white birch bark and the explosion of yellow, orange, and green all around. I love birch trees — they always look a little magical to me.

The Hummingbird and the Happy Flower

The Hummingbird and the Happy Flower
Acrylic · Jun. 2024

A brilliantly colored hummingbird hovers mid-flight, dipping its long beak into a big red hibiscus flower against a swirling purple sky. I painted this with acrylics and tried to show the energy and speed of a hummingbird — they move so fast, it always amazes me that something so tiny can be so powerful.

The Mallard's Evening Journey
Colored Pencil · Dec. 2024

A mallard drake takes flight at dusk over a wetland full of life — a duck and duckling swim below, deer graze at the water's edge, and birds fill the warm evening sky. I drew every feather with colored pencil, which took many hours, but I wanted the wing to look as detailed and real as possible. The wetland habitat reminds me how important it is to protect these places.

Peaceful Jungle
Markers · Aug. 2024

A vibrant jungle scene filled with animals living together in harmony — a scarlet macaw, a leopard resting on a branch, a green tree frog by a waterfall, a toucan, and a pink flamingo all share the same colorful world. I wanted to show that even fierce animals can coexist peacefully in nature. I used paint markers and watercolor to make the colors as bright and alive as a real rainforest.

My Robotics Journey

My first year in robotics, and it has been an incredible experience. My team and I learned to design and build a robot, write code, drive in competition, and document our progress in an engineering notebook — all while practicing more than 20 hours each week.

About Me

Hi, I'm Jackie.

Jackie

I live in New Hampshire, and I'm an elementary school student. I love drawing and robotics — maybe that sounds like a funny combination, but that's just me!

I hope you enjoy my drawings and my robotics adventures. This is my little corner of the internet where I share the things I love to make and do.

Whether I'm sketching a new idea or programming a robot for competition, I believe that every great thing starts with curiosity and a willingness to try.
