Tony Jackson studied painting at Bath Academy of Art, (1963-66). He then worked as an Art Teacher in secondary schools for 30 years, and was the Director of Expressive Arts at a school in Hemel Hempstead where he lives.

He now paints and exhibits in acrylics, oils and pastels, and teaches adult education classes. He offers painting demonstrations and workshops in acrylics and pastels. His technique can be summed up as "producing a tonal painting in blue and white which is turned into a full colour image with washes of primary colours". This applies to classes/demonstrations on portraits, landscape, still life and studies of life in India.

Most of Tony's recent work has been naturalistic, featuring scenes of life in India, though recently he has taken on a number of portrait commissions and had exhibitions of abstract work.

He has exhibited in Hertfordshire, London and Calcutta.
