Stuart Duffin was born in 1959 and studied at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen from 1978 to 1982, graduating in fine art printmaking. He has been a member of staff at the Glasgow Print Studio since 1984, working as Studio Manager from 1989–2002. He is currently working primarily in etching and mezzotint as the Studio Master Etcher.
Since 1996, he has completed several residencies in Jerusalem. The city, with the burden of historical and contemporary baggage that it bears, has remained the foundation for all of Duffin’s artistic output. He sees the welfare of Jerusalem as a barometer to the wellbeing of our own basic humanity, not only as individuals, but collectively as a global society.
He is a Fellow of the RE (Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers), an Academician of the RSA (Royal Scottish Academy), a professional member of the SSA (Society of Scottish Artists) and a member of the IMS (International Mezzotint Society).
