 Jane Corsellis studied at the Byam Shaw School of Art* in London where 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.
After leaving the Byam Shaw in 1962 she painted for a year in Spain before returning to teach for two years. In 1972 she moved with her family to Hong Kong where she had a solo exhibition. Having returned to England for a few years, she then moved to Ottawa for three years again having a solo exhibition. Subsequently she lived for a further three years in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; while there she visited and painted in India, Thailand, Bali and Australia. Since then she has spent some months painting in France, Italy and Austria. In the UK she paints in London and in Pembrokeshire in South Wales.
Since 1985 she has had a series of very successful solo exhibitions at the New Academy Gallery in London, the last being in November 2004. In 1998 she had a solo exhibition at the Hollis Taggart Gallery in New York. In November 2006 she had her first one person show at Messum’s Gallery in Cork Street, London, a second show took place in November 2008 and further show of watercolours only opened on 2 March 2010.
She exhibits regularly at exhibitions of the New English Art Club*, the Royal Watercolour Society* and from time to time in other galleries and exhibitions. She has produced a number of lithographs with the Curwen Studio. Her book Painting Figures in Light was published by Watson and Guptill in 1982. A book, Jane Corsellis 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 on Coastal Watercolours was brought out by APV Films in November 2004.
Her work is in numerous corporate and private collections in the UK, North America, Europe and the Far East.
