A story arc in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. involves a group of apparently-unconnected people who all have a compulsion to create drawings, paintings, etchings or other works (each person using a different medium) featuring the same cryptic pattern of interlocking symbols. It turns out they've all received an experimental medical treatment based on alien DNA, and the symbols are part of the alien's Genetic Memory showing through. The compulsion is due to the inadequacy of representing the pattern in two dimensions; one man is freed of the compulsion after recreating the pattern as a three-dimensional element in the landscape of his model train set.

It takes the entire run of RahXephon before we learn the significance of the painting Ayato is working on: It's his memory of his first meeting with Haruka Shitow, which he had forgotten due to Mulian mind-wiping technology.

Doctor Who:
"Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood" has an indirect version of this, wherein the currently-human Doctor draws pictures of things he dreams about in a notebook, those dreams being of his real life as an alien.
"Hell Bent": The Doctor is forced to erase most of his memories of his companion, Clara. He later composes a piece of music that is said to represent those lost memories, though he doesn't immediately realize it until it's pointed out to him.

One of the episodes of John Doe had a "psychic" drawing pictures that lead the police to rape/murder victims. Turns out she was a survivor, and was just remembering her own attack.
The protagonist later becomes truly psychic through art in the last episodes.

In the second season of United States of Tara, Tara, who has DID and can't remember large chunks of her childhood, crafts a model of a house. Later on in the season she and her sister visit the foster house they went to when they were really young. Guess what the house looks exactly like.
