Noah Doely was raised in Iowa and earned his BFA in sculpture from the University of Northern Iowa. He works with sculpture, installation, and antiquated photographic processes. He has exhibited his work nationally and internationally and recorded and toured with the band The Old Scratch Revival Singers. Noah relocated in 2008 and currently resides in San Deigo, California where he is pursuing his MFA at the University of California, San Diego.

Noah crafts elaborate narrative scenes and frames them with the use of historic photographic processes and antique equipment. The historic processes lend the image not only a historical aesthetic but also create serendipitous haunting textures. Together the photographic processes' aesthetic and the narrative create his own photographic "evidence" of stories, discoveries, and inventions lost in the shuffle of time.
