Bannan’s works are based on seeing the earth from above. The experience of her first transcontinental flight was a stunning visual experience that demonstrated in a graphic way the enormity and variety of the land mass our country is situated upon. It was at that moment her painting became inexorably tied to flying. She is fascinated by visual sensations resulting from the interplay between manmade elements and the natural land surface and how people carve out a living in the geography in which they exist.
Bannan is a professor in the School of Visual Arts at Virginia Tech. She holds a BA in studio art from Virginia Tech and an MFA in painting from Pratt Institute. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions around the country.
