Jane Corsellis was born in 1940 and studied at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London. She was awarded the Leverhulme Scholarship and the final year Painting Prize. While still a student she exhibited at the Young Contemporaries Exhibition and at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

Today Jane Corsellis is an acclaimed figurative painter of real and recognisable subjects. She usually paints at first hand and is representational rather than realistic in style. She paints both in oils and in watercolours. Her work displays a wonderful sense of colour and composition which capture the light and feel of her chosen subject matter.

Jane Corsellis has travelled extensively throughout her career living and working in Spain, Canada, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia and India. These days she has makes frequent painting trips to France, Italy, Austria and Wales.

Jane Corsellis art works are in collections throughout the world. She is a member of the New English Art Club, the Royal Cambrian Academy and the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour.

In 1982 a book by Jane Corsellis ‘Painting Figures in Light’ was published in the United States by Watson and Guptill. It was later published in the UK. Her second book ‘A Personal View Painting in Oils and Watercolour’ was published by David and Charles in October 2000. At the same time APV Films brought out a film of Jane at work called ‘Landscapes in Oils’. A second film called ‘Coastal Watercolours’ was released by APV Films in November 2004.
