Coughlin was a member of the National Academy of Design; his work appears in the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, among other places.  He studied at the Art Students League in New York, and RISD, where he graduated in 1953 with a BFA in illustration.  After a stint in the military, he returned to RISD to pursue an MFA in printmaking with Herbert Lewis Fink. Coughlin taught printmaking at UMASS Amherst for 35 years, and exhibited at his Golden Cod Gallery in Wellfleet each summer, along with his wife Joan Hopkins Coughlin.

 

From Coughlin's obituary earlier this year in the Provincetown Independent: 

In 1965, Jack and Joan traveled through Europe by car. In addition to visiting old master print collections and art museums, Jack encountered animals in the newly opened Basel Zoo that would later appear in many of his hybrid and metamorphic prints.

On that trip, Jack met Liam Miller, the publisher of the Dolmen Press, who introduced him to the art world in Dublin. Up through the 1990s, Jack regularly exhibited at the David Hendriks Gallery. He was a member of the Dublin Arts Club, and he forged friendships with printmakers including John Kelly and Alice Hanratty at the National College of Art and Design.

Through his Irish connections, he met his literary hero, Samuel Beckett, in Paris in 1986. Jack made multiple portraits of Beckett and several other modern Irish writers. He later turned to portraits of classical, jazz, and blues musicians.
