Just a Girl and a Bird

It’s time for Monday Mural again and some more from Kalgoorlie.

Artist – Em Anders
Artist: – Sarah McCloskey

A poem, rumoured to have been penned by US president Herbert Hoover about his love for a barmaid he met in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, is the inspiration for a larger-than-life mural painted by artist Sarah McCloskey.
Mr Hoover gave an elaborately carved mirror to the hotel as a parting gift and composed a poem to the barmaid he fell in love with.

I like to find out as much as I can about all the murals I post, some have such interesting stories. Some, I can’t find anything at all about.

🦘Murals of Australian Native Animals🦘

On a recent trip to Kalgoorlie I saw some fabulous murals of Australian Native Animals. Kalgoorlie has recently tried to brighten up the town with some wonderful murals. Although there are some who seem against this idea as I saw many that were defaced with graffiti and other damage. A great shame.

These bright and colourful murals decorate the walls of the local Coles in Kalgoorlie. I believe they were painted by local artists Em Anders and Jason Dimer.

Jason Dimer

Jason Dimer comes from Kalgoorlie in Western Australia and is the son of the late Mr Neil Dimer who was an important leader and artist from the Goldfields region.  Presently Jason lives and works in Kalgoorlie and his paintings depict traditional Dreamtime stories that have been passed down to Jason from his tribe.  These stories include the rainbow serpent and men’s stories.  Jason also paints stories of his mother’s country – Source: Creative Native
