Caney grew up as the son of a songwriter and a priest, and, as such, was raised in a household that encouraged creative pursuits and open theological thinking. This led to his introduction to painting at the age of 10, a skill and passion that Caney carried on through his whole life and into his college education. As a result, paint has become his best means of expressing his attempts to understand theology and spirituality and to share his personal perspective on the world around him.
