Lori Pensini has been invited to participate in this years King's School Art Prize with a breathtaking painting called 'North of the Black Stump' - Oil on linen, 110 x 100 cm.

Artist Statement
North of the Black Stump is a self reflective interpretation of me as a young woman heading north into the remote Pilbara region of Western Australia to be a cook and jillaroo on my husband’s cattle station ‘Wyloo’. A million acres 1800 kms from home, it was a world a way. A land of contradiction, hours and hours of flat nothingness giving way to the everything of rugged ranges and ancient rivers. It speaks of a life rich in colour and a woman’s best friend being her own grit and determination.

If you are looking for something wonderful to do this long weekend, join The King's School for the Gala evening celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the King's Art Prize on Saturday 1 June 2024 from 6.30pm in Horrocks Hall at the Preparatory School.
