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!

First Annual Frida Kahlo Fundraiser!

El grupo MAIZ just produced the FIRST ANNUAL FRIDA KAHLO FUNDRAISER to initiate a long-term goal of conducting reasearch and house meetings to identify women's issues and in the process of creating (and maintaining) a Latina women's organization.
I donated this two pieces above and a small water color paintin gof alcatracez. I haven't painted much lately becuase I've been sooooo busy, but I hope this pushes me to create more art to donate and help the organization raise $ that way too.
