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's Birthday will be in 7 days

She is very excited. We will celebrate her special day in salinas. She is now 4 years old. Then, the weekend after we will go to Anaheim and she'll get to go to disneyland again.

I hope the weather is good so that we can really enjoy both events. I am already done also with my big fish in my ceramics class. Its about 2 feet long and 1.5 feet high. It's a replica of a flounder tete has that agu won at the salinas fair a couple of years ago. tete loves the characters of the little mermaid and so i decided to enlarge this little fishie.

peace in the world!
