Banta joins the National Gallery from the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA), where she is senior curator and head of the department of prints, drawings, and photographs, a position she has held since 2018. She returns to the National Gallery after having previously served as assistant curator of drawings and prints at the museum from 2010 to 2013.
