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!

LCPA's First Art Exhibit & Silent Auction --2007

We had our very first art exhibit and silent auction at LCPA. This is something that i had thought about since i started working here. I was really looking forward to this, and eventhough not all of my students participated becuase they weren't finished with their art pieces, we had over 29 art pieces sold, and we raised almost$500.00, incredible! I was so proud of my kids!
The money went directly to the kids and I'm really looking forward to doing something like this but better next year and use that money to take the kids on a field trip.
