My name is Karen Duportail and I’m Mauritian. I’m 19 years old, soon to be 20 in September 2023. I just finished secondary school and I’m currently waiting for my HSC exam results, I’m thinking of pursuing a course in Arts at the university of my choice.
In my free time I like to play video games and read novels/mangas. I also recently developed a passion for crochet.
I have always loved doing drawing and exploring different techniques of doing arts. I learnt how to sculpt under the teaching of Mr Lewis Dick who is a teacher filled with enthusiasm about sculpture.
I mostly work on portraiture or human figure when doing my sculpting projects. I really enjoy the process of creating a beautiful piece of art from something rough like wood, to give live to it.
In the future I hope to expand my knowledge and to discover many more methods of doing art.
