Jaclyn began drawing before she entered kindergarten. Her older brother, Alex, would bring home "How to Draw Animals" books (mostly Horses and dogs) from the school library every week - just for her. Jaclyn has cherished and developed this gift of creativity from God over the years, and it has grown to be one of her highest passions.  Although Jaclyn is trained in mixed media, her favorite tool is colored pencils because she loves the way they allow her to blend and mix colors! Jaclyn says, "That is my favorite part of the process!"
