Jack L. Airy is a Naïve art artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Jack Airy painted quiet corners of rural Suffolk in watercolour around 1940. In St. Bartholomew's Church from the South-West, Orford, Suffolk and The Mill at Parham he captured brickwork softened by ivy, slate roofs catching thin light, and lanes that seem to lead nowhere. These works belong to a small, unsung tradition of topographical watercolours that freeze one moment in lime-washed villages. Tap Doughty's House at Theberton to wander the next lane.
