    Hello Ms. Thorne, I am curious to know if you were painting in 1967? I have a painting signed by a Jane Thorne but not sure if you are the same Jane Thorne. It also is noted San Antonio 1967 under your name. Thank you for your time.

      Hello Mr Worthington! I was actually born in 1976 so it would have been impressive if I had managed that! I would love to see the painting! Ive just googled to see if I can find any other Jane Thorne artists. I think there is at least one other I found who is a writer/artist in Suffolk UK. Good luck on finding your artist. Happy hunting!

    Hi today at the library craft fair I saw a paperweight with a bug trapped in it. Do you have paper weights for sale?

      Hi Sheldene! Thanks for coming to the market! Unfortunately I don’t have any for sale. The one I was using today was from a dear friend of mine. You could try Etsy, Alibaba perhaps? Even trade me sometimes has similar items occasionally. Best of luck in your bug hunt! 🙂

    What beautiful artworks. I have always loved the intricacies and beauty of invertebrates and you have captured both.

    Kia ora Jane,

    Here’s a 2025 appreciation post! Love your work. Pepetuna are my faves. Do you update this site or are you on another platform as well?

      Kia ora Nicola! Thank you for your lovely message! I also love Pepetuna! I would love to one day see one alive, but for now happy painting them from photos. I very rarely update my website (naughty naughty-*smacks self on hand*). I finally got a new phone so can actually get back on insta again. I Do not recommend letting your phone joyride on the roof of the car! I’m a tiny bit more active on instagram @littleblackbugs Perhaps see you over there? Ngā mihi mahana, Jane 🙂
