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!

Tete y yo on my 22nd birthday 04/20/05

These are two pictures of my beautiful tete and myself on the 17th actually 3 days before my real birthday. We went to Toritos restaurant in Monterey, it was crowded but we enjoyed it. I was really sick with the cold but still decided to go becuase my parents and Agu wanted to take me. I love chiles reyenos, its my favorite dish and that's obviously what i ordered. The following weekend we had a get together at home with our friends, I made chicken and vegetarian enchiladas, mole and bought some salads. we had fun! I'm 22 now!
