I contacted Alison through the first Lockdown as I had seen her lovely paintings on Facebook. She expressed a wish to paint cats! Amazing I thought, as my daughter was going to be 30 and has the most beautiful Ragdoll cats. The perfect birthday gift. And it was, she absolutely loves the painting and it now has pride of place on her wall

Alison has painted my cat Willow on two occasions, including for her charity Christmas cards last year. Her ability to capture the character of her subject is amazing. I can highly recommend. Thanks Alison

Alison did the most gorgeous painting of our black lab Bertie, his expression is spot on and the colours she chose worked brilliantly. The detail in his face and his lovey shiny coat are amazing. Thank you Pawsome paintings.... we absolutely love it 😍 The Houghtons xxx

Fabulous service from Alison, I would definitely recommend. Alison painted a portrait of a friends dog for me, completely captured his character, I’m sure she will love it . Thank you Alison.

I commissioned Alison to paint a scene that my husband photographed at the Aird of Sleat on Skye last New Year. He loved the walk that we did and mused that he wished that he was an artist so that he could have captured the scene! Alison worked with me to ensure that I was happy with the progress of the painting from draft to finish, and I am thrilled with the outcome. She captured exactly what I was looking for. I know my husband will be thrilled with it when I give it to him for his birthday.

Alison captured Max, our Weimerana x Vizsla, perfectly! We have never had any art work done of our animals before but I will certainly return for more in the future!! Thank you Alison!

Being part of Alison’s 30 day lockdown challenge was great fun and a real privilege! We were delighted with the result. Alison managed to portray our cat Arthur perfectly - that cheeky character comes through so so well and the colouring is spot on!! A lovely surprise for my hubby’s birthday and something we will cherish forever. A very talented artist and a lovely lady with it!!

Such a wonderful likeness of our toy poodle, Alison has captured his features perfectly as it is tricky with him being virtually all black! A perfect anniversary present for our family xx Thank you xx

Thank you Alison Stafford for our fantastic portrait of Walter, it’s fantastic and the likeness is so spot on. Thank you again,. Anyone thinking of getting one done, do it you won’t be disappointed xxx

Alison painted a fabulous portrait of my dog Rufus As part of her 30 day lockdown challenge. The detail and the reality of him was captured beautifully. Something I’ll be able to cherish well beyond his years. Thank you again Alison

I show my ponies at local & county level & Alison has painted two lovely portraits of my girls . Shamrocklake royal Chilean (Meer rip) being the first , then just recently Meer’s baby , Trewylanbrook Royal Chorus. I would highly recommend Alison for your commissions.

Absolutely fantastic painting of our little cocker spaniel ‘Rubble’ truly amazing.Alison has his expression spot on, very talented and will be having more paintings done of our treasured friends.

Found Alison through a friends recommendation and couldn’t be happier. She captured Hugo, my border terrier in all his glory. She used colours that made the piece more vibrant. Recommend you commission her as the prices are very fair for the quality of work.

I bought an Alison Stafford print for my daughter for Christmas. It is a lovely piece and has pride of place on her wall. The horse's flying mane and the background of swirling colours surround a gentle equine face with kind eyes, a painting with life and movement and a really pleasing pallette of modern hues. My daughter loved the artwork, and I want one for myself now.

We are very fortunate to have two of Alison’ s paintings, one landscape and a portrait of our pony. Both are so beautiful and continually give us so much pleasure. The portrait has captured the very essence of our pony, it’s as if he is in the room as so much character comes out in it. The landscape uses beautiful colours and light and shade and never fails to take us back to that special place. I would love to have more of Alison’s artwork and highly recommend her.

Alison painted our daughter’s pony beautifully, capturing her character and presence. We had this painted for our daughter’s 16th birthday, a gift she will always remember and treasure. I can not recommend her enough.

Alison's art workshops are relaxed,fun and informative. From acrylics to watercolours,landscapes,pet portraits or just experimenting with different techniques there is appeal to both beginners and experienced artists alike. Very enjoyable and very highly recommended. Plus great coffee and cake! ????????????

Great morning,learnt a lot in a very relaxed atmosphere.????????????

Alison has produced a portrait painting of our beloved pony and I asked her to paint it in time for my daughters birthday which she did. The portrait was superb in every way , I found Alison was very self critical and a perfectionist she wouldn’t let me see it until it was done. I was over the moon the likeness and detail was so accurate she even got his character in his eyes. Alison is a very gifted artist and I will always have her in fact she’s painting again for me in the near future.

I have done a number of work shops with Alison and have found them to be friendly and motivational. I was encouraged to experiment and work out of my comfort zone. Would highly recommend them

I've attended two workshops with Alison so far this year and both have been wonderfully relaxed and informative - I would highly recommend! The cake is good too!!

I commissioned a pet portrait as a unique wedding present, for some friends who are notoriously difficult to buy for. Alison skilfully worked from some photographs and created an absolute masterpiece. My friends were blown away by her work and were delighted with how well she had captured both the likeness and personalities, of their two precious felines. The painting resides in pride of place in their home. When Alison produced gift cards of the painting, my friends immediately ordered them to send to their friends and family.
