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!

Los Reyes Michocan--My Parents & the Agave

Yesterday we went to La Huerta Don Nacho in honor of my grandfather Nacho. Es una huerta de Zarzamora and my dad is very excited with the work that he is doing there. Next to it they have the Agave which will be ready soon, it's almost 5 years old alredy, the plants are very tall and big, and on the opposite side they have Cana, de donde sale el azucar, pero la cana ya no deja mucho y pues por eso ahora los agricultores como mi papa estan mas interesados en plantar berries o agave u otras cosas.
