When I paint my spirit is let loose...

A brand new collection of Helford paintings, as seen in my book, is now live.

View my work at Trebah Garden along with the Helford Artists, on now until 2 November.


I am a landscape artist based on the Helford River in Cornwall. I paint outside, using gouache, and bring these to the studio to develop into larger oil paintings. I originally studied at the Slade School of Art and moved to Cornwall in 2020 to become a full time artist.

My book and new paintings collection

I am very excited to announce my first book of paintings Helford Sketchbook #1 is now available to order and is a signed limited edition of 150.  If you have any issues purchasing online through Paypal please email me directly at sophie.velzian@hotmail.com.

This year I have completed the Newlyn School of Art Professional Landscape Programme which held a group show called Sentinel at Tremenheere Sculpture Park.
