Art inspired by the Helford River
Hi, I'm Sophie and I'm an artist who is inspired by the beautiful Cornish coast, particularly the idyllic creeks around the Helford River which I am fortunate to call home. I work mainly in oil paint with cold wax medium, both in the studio and plein air.
You can see all my artworks in the Paintings section, organised into sections including seascapes, abstracts and smaller works. I have also just added a Latest paintings page for the most recent pieces. In "Small Paintings" you can find recent oil originals £125 which includes a classic float white tray frame and UK postage and packing.
Limited Edition Giclee prints (edition 25) of some of my most popular paintings now available on my Cards and Prints page. Paintings newly available in a limited edition are A Day at Durgan, Cheer, Bloom, Swimming in Pink, Bathing in Light, Marmalade Skies, Tangerine Trees.
