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 comprehensive school in Hertfordshire, UK.
He took early retirement in 1996 to concentrate on his painting, the development of Adult Education classes in Art and Design, and painting demonstrations and workshops for art societies across the south of England.
Much of his work is on the theme of Life in India, where he is a frequent visitor. He has recently revisited more abstract ideas based on a playful use of linear perspective.
