ALISON STAFFORD

Alison Stafford F.G.S.A, BA Hons, spent a career in Fashion and Textiles and is continuously drawn to colour and pattern. This is not only evident in her early animal portrait work but plays out in her recent body of semi abstract paintings depicting horses and landscapes.
Working from her studio which is situated within an international equestrian facility in Somerford, Cheshire, she works in oils and acrylics and dry medium such as pastels and charcoal.
Her layering and expressive mark making describes the form, movement and energy of her subject, and her use of colour brings a sense of joy and vitality to her work.
She is also busy with pet portraits, accepting commissions and painting from photographs which she prefers to take herself to ensure the best possible results.
She is a member of the Guild Society of Artists, Chairperson and member of the  Association of Animal Artists,  and a member of the Society of Equestrian Artists, she exhibits regularly and runs workshops for small groups in her home studio in Cheshire.
Alison also featured as one of the contestants on The Big Painting Challenge, a BBC1 production, in 2016. This gave her some fantastic experiences, including Plein Air painting, experimenting with new mediums, and painting fast and loose!
