Советский скульптор-прикладник, керамист. С 1948 по 1964 года Велихова работала скульптором на Ленинградском фарфоровом заводе им. Ломоносова. Большинство работ Велиховой были выполнены в жанре «Наше счастливое Советское детство».

Together with Lubov Holina in 1951, created a set of figures to mark the 15th anniversary of the adoption of the Soviet Constitution. They depicted young pioneers and representatives of the multi-ethnic Soviet Union carrying a flower-framed portrait of Stalin. By presenting figures symbolizing the 15 republics of the USSR in a harmonious procession, the work expressed the official Soviet ideal of unity, constructive labor, and a happy life under peaceful skies.
