Alison Hargreaves is a local artist based in Poynton. Her novel idea is to create a special piece of art work based on your child's favourite toy.

It all started with her son's beloved "puppy" which is well loved, rather worn and taken every where!!! She painted it for his bedroom to preserve it's memory and as a keepsake. Since then, Alison has been asked to paint similar pictures for family and friends. The idea is proving so popular that she has decide to make it into a business.
