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!

Santa Cruz...

Today we went to the Santa Cruz beach board walk. We actually celebrated Father's day last weekend becuase I... we messed up with the dates. We had a lot of fun, specially celeste who go in the water and played a lot with the sand, and even got into the big rides with Agustin. I'm afraid of heights, so I didn't join them.

Tomorrow I will continue with my new exercise program for my HWI 260 health and wellness class, that I need to gradutate. I will start swimming in the mornings. I hope it's not so hard to wake up early and not that cold!
I will only swimm for about 35-60 minutes though...if I can!
