Kwobidak Koondarm
Image source Jacob Butler
Artist: Shakey (Jacob Butler), with guidance from Joe Northover
Asset Type: Mural
Year of Work: 2022
Location: Collie Senior High School, 76 Wittenoom St
Provenance: Shire of Collie
Description: “Kwobidak koondarm, means beautiful dreams. This is the name given to this mural by Bianca and Ijah Coyle, the parents of the three sisters who are painted in this mural.
My intention was to paint a mural for the younger generation of Collie that reflects setting out on your own journey in life but doing it with pride and always having your culture and your traditions close to your heart.
Under the guidance and consultation with local Elder, Joe Northover, we were given the opportunity to meet and collaborate with a young family in Collie and capture three beautiful sisters at Minninup Pool, a sacred place and resting place of the Ngangungudditj Walgu.
Thank you Joe Northover, Bianca, Ijah and your family for collaborating with us and everyone who helped make this mural come to life.” Shakey (Jacob Butler)
About the artist:
Shakey (Jacob Butler) is an artist based in Fremantle, Western Australia. Jacob works in many mediums including acrylics, oils, pastel and aerosol. Jacob’s essential tremor that existed from birth got him branded ‘Shakey’, giving him his unique, free-flowing, intuitive style. Jacob’s art career began on the wharf in 2013, where he experimented using paint and colour for the first time whilst decorating his workmate’s hard-hats. The demand for Jacob’s artwork grew fast as well as his passion and drive to paint bigger and better. Since becoming a full-time artist he has been invited to paint live in front of large audiences for private concerts, gala balls, weddings and large charity events internationally, with his paintings yielding very successful results due to the raw energy put into his work whilst under pressure. His recent painting for Telethon 2020, televised and painted over 10 hours, raised $25,000 for Telethon. Since 2018 Jacob has developed a very successful and exclusive live wedding portrait painting business, which sees him frequently travelling across the country to paint wedding portraits in the major cities. During the winter season, Jacob focuses his energies on large-scale murals across Western Australia and is currently working towards his second exhibition. His story has been featured in the West Australian, Channel 7’s Today Tonight, on radio and via an award winning short film, Shakey’s Story.
