My passion is art and my goal is to pursue my dream to become a full-time artist and share my love for art through every piece of art, I create.
My name is Alexandra Quevedo. My friends call me Alex. Born in Monterrey, NL, Mexico, Art has been in my family for many generations. My great uncle, Raul Acevedo was a famous artist in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. Art runs through my veins, As a child, I loved drawing and painting portraits for my family and friends. My art is very colorful and painterly. I have also painted murals in several places in Houston and in Mexico (Residential and Commercial). I have been commissioned to paint portraits for a few famous people, one being the international singer Juan Gabriel.
I have won an award in Primer Encuentro de Artist International. After graduating from University of Houston in 2008 with a degree in Fine Arts(Studio Painting), I decided I wanted to share my love for the arts with each student. The best way was to become a teacher, this is when I earned my bilingual and art education certificate.
