 Chantal Lesley
As I Lay It All To Rest
August 1 - September 12, 2025
Opening reception: August 1, 6 - 8 pm
We carry so much within us: memories, regrets, unspoken words, and lingering ghosts that echo in the quiet hours of the night. As I Lay It All to Rest is an excavation of these restless thoughts, an exploration of what it means to release, to surrender, and to live with the weight of what cannot be undone.
Chantal Lesley (she/her) is an artist based in Austin, TX. As a multicultural, first-generation American born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley along the U.S./Mexico border, Lesley’s work is deeply informed by her experience of being stretched between four cultures. The daughter of Peruvian and German immigrants, she explores themes of identity, belonging, and contemporary social and political issues through her art.
Lesley earned her BFA in Fine Art Photography from Texas State University in 2021, and her work has been exhibited across Texas and the U.S. Notable exhibitions include the Houston Center for Photography (Houston, TX), Craighead Green Gallery (Dallas, TX), Touchstone Gallery (Washington, D.C.), and Humble Arts Foundation (New York, NY). She has been selected for prestigious residencies, including LATITUDE (Chicago, IL), The Line in partnership with Big Medium (Austin, TX), Vermont Studio Center (Johnson, VT), and Château d'Orquevaux (Orquevaux, France). Lesley has also held solo exhibitions at the Dougherty Arts Center (Austin, TX), LHUCA (Lubbock, TX), shedshows (Austin, TX), and Bradbury Art Museum (Jonesboro, AR). Her 2025 accomplishments have included Artist in Residence at KUNSTRAUM in Brooklyn, NY followed by a residency at kala in Berkeley, CA.
