Jesse Lee Kercheval’s Drawn Lives brings together a body of work that moves fluidly between observation, memory, and narrative. Known for her writing, Kercheval approaches drawing as another form of storytelling—one that speaks through line, color, and gesture rather than sentences. In this exhibition, her original soft pastels and large collaged canvases are shown alongside selections from her graphic memoirs French Girl and Household Gods, creating a dialogue between intimate, immediate mark-making and the layered structure of lived experience.
