Lissa said: ‘When Isabella's work was chosen by the Royal Academy, I was so pleased for her and incredibly proud of her achievement.
‘What an honour to have your work displayed not only online but in the prestigious Royal Academy.’
One of Maddie’s drawings has been selected for the Hares of Hampshire art trail, which is running in Southampton and Winchester until August 25.
Maddie attends the 5th Portsmouth Scouting group.

Her design was chosen to be combined with two other Cubs in the county.
All three designs were merged to create LeeVee the Leveret, which will be on display in the Winchester Great Hall, as part of the art trail.
Maddie said: ‘I’m really pleased that my design was made into a Leveret.
‘My part was the colourful Scouting fleur-de-lis symbols. I’m really excited to see it in person. I enjoy being a Cub and this was a fun competition.’
