He holds a Master of Fine Art from The Glasgow School of Art (United Kingdom) and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), where he currently lectures at. Notably, he has exhibited at National Gallery Singapore, Clydebank Museum and Art Gallery (UK) and Jangsaengpo Culture Depot (KR), amongst others.

Jaxton was awarded the StudyUK Alumni Award in Culture and Creativity by the British Council Singapore in 2022.
Aside from his practice, he is also actively involved in mural painting, community art and curatorial projects. His murals, which are usually painted in an impressionistic style, can be found around the streets of Singapore and have been featured widely on various local media and art trails. With a passion of bringing arts to the masses, Jaxton has initiated a variety of community-based projects to engage different community groups, including 'Archipelago - Arts in Your Neighbourhood 2020', ‘Home is where the heart is - Silver Arts 2019’ and ‘Our Nano World - Edinburgh International Science Festival 2018’. As an independent curator, he is interested in challenging traditional formats of presenting art and encouraging appreciation towards experimental contemporary art. He was selected as an international curator at Alt Space Loop, Seoul in 2020. Some of his notable curatorial projects include ‘The Unsettled Dust’ – a touring Asian Short Film Festival, ‘Dare you do this? FFFF it!’ – a Taiwan Gangshan Dist Contemporary Art Warehouse International Exchange Program and ‘Power Play’ – a contemporary art festival in Singapore.
