What are you most proud of in your life or work today?
I'm most proud that I have never let go of my dream to make art a priority in my life. I work part time. While I'm not doing that I work on Chris Canan Art and Apparel LLC, and my online mindfulness brand Many Friends. I make upcycled, vintage clothing that combines my love for making clothing and my painting practice. I reflect often on my time at Tyler School of Art and often wish I was still in class purely for the readings we would get, even though at the time I did not always see the value. It was truly a great experience and has helped me tenfold as an artist. I sometimes fantasize about going back to school but we will see if that ever happens.
