From the mid- 1990s Hinkson resumed working in oils and his later exhibitions included a number of large canvases. Simultaneously he worked on figurative wood sculptures in cedar, samaan, mango and a variety tropical woods - his interest rekindled by the German sculptress Luise Kirmme residing in Tobago.

Jackie Hinkson has also worked in conte crayons, charcoal and ink drawings.In 1982 he was commissioned by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago to produce One Hundred pieces of work showing the "disappearing architecture" of the country. Some of them can be seen in National Museum and Art Gallery, Port of Spain, Piarco International Airport, Trinidad and Queen's Park Cricket Club.

Visits to Europe at that time added another dimension to the themes of his watercolours, and he produced several sketches and paintings while in Florence, London, Paris. In recent years Hinkson has been working closely with Barbadian born artist Ian "Sundiata" Stewart. The two share a common interest in water colour, sculpture and oils.

Hinkson's interest in other artists' work continues with particular interest in the work of watercolourists John Sell Cotman, William Turner and especially Winslow Homer. Homer's Bahamas watercolours have had a strong influence on Hinkson. Piero della Francesca, Goya, Chardin, Bonnard, Edward Hopper and Homer are the artists whose work he particularly admires.
