Alejandra Fernandez is a Mexican-American artist based in Los Angeles. Alejandra was born in Mexico, and immigrated to Miami with her parents when she was 3 years old. Her work reflects her Mexican heritage, infusing each piece with vibrant color and sly humor.
Alejandra’s upbeat tone belies a fierce activist spirit. She graduated from Art Center College of Design in 2017 with a BFA in Illustration. Her freelance clients include The New York Times, WePresent, Birdhouse Skatebaords, Theodore Payne Foundation, Compound Butter Magazine, and more. Her artwork is inspired by ancient Mesoamerican art and mythology and contemporary Latin American artists and musicians. Her work deals with themes of immigration, feminism, and womanhood.

She has taught art classes at several organizations, including La Casa de Esperanza and Prism Art School in Los Angeles, CA, and The Learning Tree of Arts in Miami, FL.
