Cynthia von Buhler, also known as Countess von Buhler, is an award-winning, internationally exhibiting visual artist, illustrator, children's book author, and performer. Von Buhler studied at The Art Institute of Boston and Richmond University in London.

Von Buhler's work has been likened to a trip down an ornate rabbit hole...her three-dimensional paintings have been displayed in galleries and museums around the world, and have been reproduced and featured in books, magazines, and newspapers from TIME to The New Yorker. Von Buhler uses traditional as well as unconventional media:painting, sculpture, performance, video projection, installation, living fauna, collage, photography, human detritus, and electronic audio. By combining these media, often enhanced with text and electronics, von Buhler's canvasses frequently become elaborate kinetic installations. In March 2006, Art & Antiques named von Buhler as "one of the top contemporary surrealists", however, she has also been linked to the Lowbrow and Fluxus movements.

Houghton Mifflin has released two critically acclaimed books by von Buhler, The Cat Who Wouldn't Come Inside (2006) and But Who Will Bell the Cats? (2009). Von Buhler has illustrated several children's books and dozens of young adult book covers.

An avid animal lover and rescuer of cats, von Buhler currently lives with her husband, noted jazz violinist Russell Farhang, and a veritable zoo of animal species at Fort Hill Castle on Staten Island and at a lodge, Hobs Haven Fur Gnarl, in Connecticut.
