In the early 50's Jack studied and worked in the field of Technical Drawing and Engineering design. Later he developed an interest in art whilst living in South Africa, visiting game reserves, the High Veldt and the Southern Coast.

On returning to the UK he took professional lessons while living in East Yorkshire, exhibiting there and  North Derbyshire. He enjoyed seven years of success at the prestigious Hull Centre Ferens art gallery 5 week long winter exhibitions.
