She Wore Scarlet Begonias by Emma Montonen
About Emma Montonen
I am a Finnish violinist and artist based in County Clare in Ireland.
I believe that every one of us is a creative soul. In my life creativity takes the form of music and art. On this website I want to unite these two sides of me in one place.
Portraiture and the stunning Irish landscape are subjects that continue to fascinate me as an artist. Exploring what I see through paint helps me see and reveal the beauty of existence. You can read more about my art practice here.
As a classically trained violinist, I am passionate about sharing my joy for music through my violin classes. I teach privately, and if you wish to find out more about my teaching, please head over to the violin section of this website.

2024 was a year of big changes for me, the biggest being my move to the west of Ireland from Dublin. Having settled into my new little studio I have slowly been getting used to new routines. I am teaching violin in two different music schools, and I am also taking private students - I still have a couple of spaces available, you can email me if you are looking for violin lessons.
If you would like to commission a painting I am currently booked up until September 2025, but you can send me an email if you would like to be added to my waiting list. I am currently preparing for my first solo exhibition, which is scheduled for early Autumn this year.
