Meet the Artist

Mellie-Jane O’Donoghue – Founder of Cora-Larni Enterprise

Proud Ngarluma, Wongi woman and artist from the Pilbara- Goldfields region of Western Australia.

Mellie-Jane’s work reflects her deep connection to Country, culture, and family. Each design tells a story — inspired by Ngarluma Country, the colours of the land, and the strength of community.

Cora-Larni Enterprise was named after her granddaughters, Cora and Melarni, symbolising the next generation and the importance of passing down knowledge, language, and creativity.

Through her art, Mellie-Jane shares visual stories that celebrate identity, healing, and belonging. Every piece is created with purpose and respect, continuing the tradition of storytelling through Aboriginal art.

When you purchase from Cora-Larni Enterprise, you’re supporting a 100% Aboriginal-owned business and helping keep culture and language alive for future generations.
