While still a student she exhibited at the Young Contemporaries Exhibition and at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

Corsellis lives and works in London with regular trips to Pembrokeshire.
Jane Corsellis is a passionate supporter of figurative painting. To observe closely and record everyday subjects is the essence of her paintings. Her oils and watercolours and her prints reflect her response to the quality and surprises of light and colour. She constructs her painting with much thought building a composition which steers towards the abstract but never foregoing the figurative tradition. Sir Kenneth Clark said that “above all else art must be life enhancing” and Corsellis’s work reveals and celebrates that for us.
“Light, in all its subtle variations is the key to capturing the essence.”
