Mr. Cancel's initial formal training as an artist began when he attended the Fiorello LaGuardia High School for Music and Art in New York City (1967-1970).

After graduation, he decided to pursue a career in the visual arts, and entered the Pratt Institute in 1970, where he majored in painting and printmaking with a minor in Psychology.

After earning his B.F.A. in painting from Pratt in 1975, Mr. Cancel received a study fellowship from the American Friends Service Committee to research 20th Century Puerto Rican Art. In 1989-90, he went on sabbatical from the Bronx Museum of the Arts and attended MIT's Media Lab while he completed a Master's in Public Administration at the John F. Kennedy School, Harvard University.

Mr. Cancel has been a pioneer in the use of digital technology in the creation of works of art and has been creating digital art works since the late 1980's.
