With a lifelong passion for art and creating, Emy Oikawa was undeterred by suggestions that she might struggle to make a living in the art industry. Believing in herself and her talents, she started out making creations for her friends before taking the plunge and launching Eclo Art, producing beautiful, unique pieces of art and colouful, handmade jewellery. A Colombian-Japanese artist and product designer, she expresses the exotic beauty of nature and different cultures of the world through her clay creations and original art pieces. Here she talks to The Natural Parent Magazine about the inspiration behind her business, leaving her home country of Colombia to start a life in New Zealand, and her hopes and dreams for the future.
