Her first solo exhibition took place in 1962.[2] Only five years later, in 1967, she received the Prix de Paris, and her work has been widely exhibited.[3] Since 1981 she has been using musical scores as the visual basis for her work.[4][5]
Career
Banks began her career in 1962 with her first solo gallery.[6] In addition to her formal education at the Massachusetts College of Art, Banks received training from César Domela and Hans Jaffé.[7] She has drawn inspiration from only printed musical scores since 1981.[8] She refers to herself as "a representational painter of abstracts forms",[9] and her unique work has been featured in galleries across the United States and Europe including Galerie Spandow, Artu Gallery, and Museum of Modern Art (NYC). She taught painting courses at the School of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston (1974-1996), where she garnered a number of awards and grant funding.[10] Banks has been based in Brooklyn for much of her career.[11]
