I’m Emma and I live on a sailboat —
a steel ketch named Karaka.

My ideal day is tropical and begins early.
I dive into clear waters, watch the coral and its tiny residents,
then enjoy breakfast on deck, in the quiet.

Karaka is also my studio.

Carré de Karaka

Nature calls for creation,
it brings textures and materials to life, invites expression.


Here on this site, I share my artistic explorations and evolving experiments over time.

I hope to carry you along in my wake,

Emma
