Welcome / Bienvenidos

I'm Alejandra. I love painting and that is why I decided to create this website to make my art public and accessible to everyone. I graduated from CSU Monterey Bay earning a B.A. in the Integrated Studies Special Program. My focus was Visual Arts and History of the Americas. I have also applied to the Counselor Education program at San Jose State, and hopefully I'll get in.

The main objective of this web space is to display my art works, (paintings) and some of the pieces that are still in progress. I'm also a mother of a beautiful 3 year old daughter who has become my greatest inspiration and my model as well.

I am very interested in Chicana Art, and that is why I chose that to be my webstie title, because I am Chicana and I'm also an artist that wants to create beautiful art for a social/environmental purpose of educating, raising awareness and creating change, not just to decorate. I am also very proud of my Purepecha heritage. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like it.

Enjoy!

Portrait Painting at affordable prices!

I want to start painting more, to get better at it, of course. I've been always interested in painting portraits of people and I now want to advertise myself to paint portraits at cheap prices just so that I can buy more paint and brushes. Stephanie, a friend of us actually gave me the idea, and I thought it was great. I plan to later expand my website for a specific page on that idea of painting portraits.

People could send me a photograph and I'll return them a nice painting of their photograph along with the photograph they orginally gave me. I'm excited, and I hope it works.

So, the first portrait will probably be a portrait of her, but for free of course. I'll probably put it on the mail for her becuase she is in the east coast.

Well, I hope people are interested and email me about this new painting job.
