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 where I live. I work mainly in oil paint, sometimes with cold wax medium, both in the studio and plein air.
Limited Edition Giclee prints (edition 25) of some of my most popular paintings are on my Cards and Prints page.
I will be participating again in Cornwall Open Studios this year, two long weekends 24 - 26 May and 30 May to 1 June, 11am to 5pm each day, studio 155. Appointments can be made to visit outside these hours too. Come and see my latest work and browse my sketchbooks. Original paintings, prints and cards all available.
