A stay-at-home mother has won $200,000 (£124,450) for her huge 40 foot mural done entirely with pencil.

Adonna Khare, 32, spent more than three weeks finishing off her mural of animals in the gallery as people came to view the artworks in competition ArtPrize at the Grand Rapids Art Museum, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

‘I honestly didn't think I stood a chance.’

The amazing artwork which features a menagerie of exotic animals, Ms Khare said the mural, entitled Elephants, is very personal.

‘Sad things like loss and sickness, and happy things like the birth of my daughter.’

Ms Khare said an orangutan hooked up to medical equipment represented her young nephew who was diagnosed with diabetes, reflecting ‘the sickness of a child, and what it means to inflict pain in order for somebody to survive’.
