Adonna Khare is a world-renowned, American master carbon-pencil artist. Her style has been compared to the photo-realistic illustrations of Audubon, but the surreal worlds and strange inhabitants she creates can only spring from her imagination. Khare’s life-size works possess the scope of a painting, but with enough detail and realism to give viewers the impression that they can step through the paper and into Adonna’s worlds. Adonna explains, “…I consider all these beasts of burden as symbols of the human condition; however, the pieces also reflect joy…”.

Look for accompanying animal art related workshops in March, 2025!

“Animal Instinct: The Drawings of Adonna Khare” is a William King Museum of Art original exhibition and is part of the museum’s McGlothlin Exhibition Series.
