Artist, illustrator, poet and lecturer, born in Hamilton, Lanarkshire, who attended Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen, 1976–81, teaching there 1983. Awards included Benno Schotz Prize, Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, awarded to the most promising work by a young sculptor, and the EIS Prize, SSA, both 1983. Pomeroy also showed at the RSA, RSW and LG and the Fine Art Society. He had many solo exhibitions, later ones including The McHardy Sculpture Company from 1998. Pomeroy’s stone and wood-carvings and bronzes were often of powerfully built, aggressively posed male figures, which were “a metaphor for the struggles of the human condition”. Public sculpture commissions included Of Arms and the Man, 1985, at Cadzow Arcade, Hamilton; his carved Font, 1994–5, for Glasgow City Council, in St Nicholas Garden, Townhead; Tree of People, 1996, and Plough, 1997, both in Hamilton; and a gravestone, 1999, commemorating Lady Jane Ford on Arran Island, where he lived.
