Chicana Art by Alejandra
About

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!

New Work - Mas Pinturas

Monarca butterfly

Lanscape, La cabanita

This is a painting I created by following one of Bob Ross' painting instructions from a book I bought some time ago. It's not exactly the same, becuase I modified some things but I like the final product as well. I'm thinking about creating a series of different type of landscapes and seascapes. We'll see how it goes.
