New Memoir (pdf):
Carl Banner: My Life and Thought

"What is the equation that includes suffering and creative work as terms?"

This memoir is a collection of Banner's thoughts about his life and music, and a reflection on the difficult childhood that shaped him as an artist. It is not for the faint of heart!

Marilyn Banner’s art was featured in the 2025 NYC Outsider Art Fair!
Jerry Saltz thinks it’s the “best art fair in the world!”
