About

 Ale Ruiz Tostado is a multidisciplinary, self-taught artist, primarily working in acrylic. Her practice is a form of healing through self-expression using childhood nostalgia, experiences as a Chicana, and a need to marry the visual idea with emotion.

Her work is also heavily influenced by her own Mexican-American culture with the use of vibrant color palettes and referencing culturally specific themes. 

Ale has carried a passion for the arts and creating throughout her life and has evolved into a method of healing and self-expression for her. With a certificate in Museum Studies and a pursuit of her Bachelor's Degree in Chicano Studies, art has also taken the form of museum and gallery work, more importantly collaborating with local communities.
