For over twenty-five years, Jacobs has worked in a semi-abstract style, combining accurate drawing with expressive form and non-traditional technique. In his recent paintings, he has turned loose marks of gritty pigment into very reduced but unmistakable representations of people.
Jacobs has actively exhibited his work in Cleveland, Ohio where he has also taught adults and children at the Solon Center for the Arts and the Valley Art Center. He has had solo exhibitions at Kent State University and the University of Washington. He currently resides in New York State.
