Lauriedarna Farmer is a Noongar painter who was born in 1975 at Narrogin in the south-west region of Western Australia. She was introduced to art when she lived at Marribank (also in Western Australia) where she first viewed silk paintings and batik work. She attended high school in Bunbury where she enjoyed art classes. After moving to Perth and becoming influenced by her artist brother, Farmer took up painting more seriously and began painting animals and bush foods that she knew as a child.

In 2009 Farmer enrolled in the Certificate III course in Visual Arts and Contemporary Craft at the Kidogo Art Institute in Fremantle where she began learning different painting techniques and other technical aspects of visual arts under the tutelage of art teacher Joanna Robertson. In June and July of the same year Farmer participated in a group show of Kidogo students work in the exhibition, 'Moorditj Mob’ held at Kidogo Arthouse.
