Cannell earned a BFA degree from Wayne State University, studied art at the College for Creative Studies, and now works from his studio, a former stamping plant in Highland Park, Michigan.

Since 2019, Cannell has focused on wood as a medium for sculpture. His work is distinguished by his the of contrasting materials, textures, and the juxtaposition of the organic and the industrial.
