## Caption

Then-seventh-grader Gwynnie Hockey’s fingers were stained black. Using charcoal, she had drawn a small, sketchbook-sized portrait of her black, fluffy dog, Nate, in her grandmother’s home art studio in London.

The drawing of Nate still hangs on Gwynnie’s grandmother, Fiona Evans’ wall — a favorite of Fiona’s for how clearly it captures Nate’s slightly quizzical expression. 

Four years and 25 dog drawings after that first portrait, now-junior Gwynnie still spends around three hours a week creating art with colored pencils and watercolors. She doesn’t have a surgical-room-turned-art-studio like her retired dentist grandmother, but instead works from her bed — covered in eraser shavings — sketching in her green 5.5-by-8.5-inch notebook.
