Art inspired by the Helford River

View latest paintings here

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.
