Banning Kent Lary, PhD

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

 Banning Lary’s paintings are prized by collectors from Palm Beach to Beverly Hills - Oscar winners, physicians, lawyers, businessmen, and others such as the actor Richard Burton.

He was one of the first to incorporate digital imagery into mixed media works and has created over 100 educational documentaries on science, law, medicine, psychology and the social sciences and won numerous awards.

Banning’s style of Catharcism expresses the unconscious mind through large colorful abstractions, drawing on his studies in psychology and the social sciences.
Banning holds a Bachelors in communication from UT Austin, and a Masters and PhD in psychology from Walden in Minneapolis
