About this event

12:00-17:00 Wednesday – Saturday
Sophie Velzian is a contemporary landscape artist who celebrates the enchantment and spell of the famous Helford River. Living and working in this unique Cornish location, she is inspired by its clear waters, the soft light and distinctive trees. Working in oil and cold wax she uses rich and muted colours to conjure up its enduring and enigmatic atmosphere.
Sophie has always been inspired by landscape artists who love light and atmosphere, such as Peter Lanyon, Cezanne, Monet, and Turner. After graduating with a First from the Slade School of Art, she worked for several years in user experience design before reigniting her art through painting seascapes while sailing around the west coast of Scotland.
In 2020, she fulfilled her dream and moved to live by the sea where she built her own art studio near the water. Sophie’s passion is this unique Helford coastline, which contrasts sharply with the wide sandy beaches of North Cornwall.
