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!

The Sophomore class at Great America-2007

We took the sophomores to Great America as an end of the year field trip. We had lots of fun, although I don't really like getting on the rides/roller coasters. In the first picture I am with Ms. Felipe (English teacher) and Ms. Lalonde (Biology teacher). They are both great women. Ms. Lalonde has been very supportive her classroom is also in the quad area near mine so we had more opportunity to talk and she was always very supportive. In the second image I am with my 15 kids that I was responsible for, they are so funny!
