Duncan Lamont - Artist Member

I graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee in 1975 with a Diploma in Art (Graphic Design) and entered into a career as a graphic designer and illustrator. In 1983 I completed a one-year teaching course in art and design at Jordanhill College and thereafter commenced a role as a lecturer in graphic design at Cardonald College, Glasgow.

Having completed my involvement in further education in 2010, I continued my teaching career as a supply teacher and have taught art and design in schools in Inverclyde, Renfrewshire and Dumfries and Galloway.

Having retired from my roles in education, I now find both the time and commitment to paint in gouache and watercolour. In terms of subject matter, I am particularly interested in old marine subjects and decaying corrugated iron buildings found mainly around the west of Scotland. I find the texture and colours of the subjects fascinating and an enjoyable challenge to recreate them in my work. I have exhibited at the Paisley Art Institute several times and in 2015 was awarded the John Green Fine Art prize. I've also had paintings selected for the RSW and in 2025 was awarded the Sir William Gilles prize.
