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!

Pictures from our trip to Mexico 2006-2007


here i am next to a replica of Venus de Milo, wow i got so excited when i saw it i couldn't resist from getting a picture at least with the copy, agu is telling me that we will go to europe, hopefully that happens soon.



Mexico City, yes i went there for only one day with Agu, but we managed to go to many places in just one day. We visited the plaza de las 3 culturas tambien conocida como la plaza de tlatelolco y el castillo de chapultepec donde mire un mural hermoso de Siqueiros, maravilloso!

Esta imagen es de el parque nacional de Uruapan, muy muy bonito. Una belleza natural.
