Mamie Venner (1881-1974) was an Australian artist who was known for her skill in painting and pottery. She was born in Ballarat, Victoria, in 1881 and grew up in Melbourne. She studied art at the National Gallery School in Melbourne and later at the Academie Colarossi in Paris.

Venner's early works were predominantly paintings, and she exhibited her paintings at the Royal Academy in London and the Paris Salon. She was also interested in pottery and began experimenting with ceramics in the early 1900s. She was particularly interested in the Japanese art of raku firing and was one of the first Australian potters to experiment with this technique.

Venner's pottery work was highly praised for its quality and uniqueness. Her pieces were often inspired by the Australian landscape and natural environment, and she experimented with different glazes and firing techniques to create distinctive textures and effects.
