Cover Story Hi. My name is Gabe. I am 12 years old and I was born and raised in Albuquerque. I like cars, sports and playing ideo games. I made this when I was 11 years old, in the fifth grade at Inspira Learning Community. We were studying Germany and learned that Garden Gnomes originated there in the 1800s. This art was made with watercolors. I hope you enjoy!
