LaDonna Vohar: "LaDonna's Melange"
January 24, 2026 - May 10, 2026
Shook Gallery
LaDonna is originally from Paducah, Kentucky, but has lived in Lafayette for many years. She works across a wide range of artistic media and subjects, painting portraits, murals, furniture, and anything that captures her interest in the moment. She enjoys watercolor, pastel, acrylic, graphite, oil, and sculpture equally — as long as she can explore color and image, she feels at home creatively.
LaDonna draws inspiration from many places: the expression in someone’s eyes, the delicacy of a flower, the hues in a piece of yarn, a striking photograph, or the way light and shadow fall across an object. Her interests, talents, and aspirations center on envisioning, creating, and bringing works of art to life.
Her artwork has appeared on a diverse range of surfaces and products, including large-scale billboards, furniture, brochures, indoor and outdoor murals, walls and ceilings, and both two- and three-dimensional gallery installations.
Over the years, LaDonna has received numerous awards in various art competitions. She continues to nourish her spirit by creating meaningful work and sharing her artistic gifts with others.
