As the increased demand for face masks continues amid Australias second wave of the coronavirus , First Nations artist Madison Connors has been working around the clock to meet customers orders.

The Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung and Gamilaroi woman is selling four designs through her business Yarli Creative , with each mask featuring an original Aboriginal artwork print.

Yarli Creative has had a hugely positive response thus far, and people are concerned about timely access given the requirements that are now in place in Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, Connors told HuffPost Australia just before the Victoria-wide mask rule was enforced.

Each $35 face mask tells a story of creation and Indigenous culture. There are four main designs: Nitel (which translates to gather in Yorta Yorta language), Mulana Dreamings (mulana translates to spirit in Yorta Yorta language) and Power of Solidarity, which comes in two colour variations.
