Born in the frigid foothills of northern Alberta, Noah Van Buhren spent most of his childhood drawing monsters, and searching the neighboring fields for either UFOS or Dinosaur bones. He started the Design program at the University of Alberta, but craving more adventure, he left after the first year to back pack around the world in search strange sights and places to photograph and draw. Upon returning to Canada, Noah began doing freelance work as a concept artist and storyboard artist for independent film projects which would lead him to the Emily Carr Animation Program. 

He now lives a life of mischief in Vancouver as an animator and film maker.
