About

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.  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.
