"Hi Alejandra,

My name is Amalia I am a Mexicana who grew up in Oakland California. I have seen your paintings at your galleria website and think they are beautiful.
The first painting I saw was Celeste Quetzalli, the art was in a Hispanic Heritage Calendar distributed by Safeway. My sobrina had the calendar in her room and I fell in love with that particular painting, I commented to my sister that the little girl in the painting look like my daughter, My sister responded that the little girl looked more like me when I was a little girl. At the time I did not know she was your daughter, I thought Celeste Quetzalli was the name of the artist. I tried looking up the painting by her name and after several tries I was able to find your website. I tried your contact link and was not successful. I found your resume and took your e-mail address from that. My question is how do I purchase a copy of your painting? Please advise. I look foward to your respond.
Having 2 daughters and a son, I like to expose them to art that represent our cultura.

Thank you for being a positive role model for our future chicanas.

Sincerely,
Amalia Alcala"
I got this awesome email from Amalia Alcala. It's the first time someone emails me about my work. It makes me feel to great to know that there is people out there who care about art. I hope I get to meet her soon and maybe I can paint her daughters if she wants me to. These type of comments and people is what motivates me and energizes me to create Arte. I love painting, I love colors, I love art!

Chicana Art by Alejandra
About	News	Galeria	Education	Links
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! email me at: lafrida.@. yahoo.com Catholic Ceremonies in the lives of Latinas, 2004 (capstone project)

Exhibited at the CSU Monterey Bay Library on 7/02/04
