Canyon Truth Snow is a Costume Designer, Crafts artisan and Fine Artist located in Chicago, Illinois. Before moving to Chicago, Edward lived in Utah where he spent a lot of time on the Colorado Plateau gathering Insperation and creating artwork based on the natural environment and his experiences growing up on his family’s horse and cattle farm in the last stages of the Wild West.
Edward attended Weber State Univeristy from 2014 to 2019 pursuing a B.A. in Design Tech Management with an emphasis in Costume Design and Costume Crafts, and a minor in Fine Art. While attending Weber, Edward was awarded many regional and national wards for his Artistic and Scholarly merit, including the National Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival award for Outstanding Costume Design for The Cripple of Inishmaan in 2019. Edward graduated with Honors, and was awarded the Outstanding Researcher award for the college of Arts and Humanities in 2019.
