About Me

MyGen Profile Generator So here I am....I'm already 29, and like many other people ask myself "What do I have to show for myself?"....What have I accomplished in life?? Well, I have a daughter named Sophia Liberty Benavidez. She is my everyday inspiration, and since she's been around my life is no longer about me. I own a lovely little home in the suberbs near the outskirts of San Antonio, but I'm far from domesticated. I have a somewhat successful career, but it's not what I was destined to do with my life. At heart I am an artist...Not necessarily a good artist, but I paint from the soul. That's the purest form of expression for me. I have painted a few Murals around town, but I've already exhausted my 15 minutes of fame. Now I just paint as a hobby to pass the time. Deep down inside I still have the desire to paint and be creative, so it's a matter of time till that come rushing back out. Until that day I work as a District Manager for a merchandising support company. It's quite stressful, but it pays the bills and provides for my daughter.

My Interests

Murals, Painting, Visual Arts The San Antonio Art Guild

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to network with other local artists in and around the San Antonio area. Eventually I'd like to start a local group of muralists that paint murals to cover graffiti eyesores in prime areas. ( now don't get me wrong, graffiti is an amazing artform, and done legally can really improve our surroundings ) Any artists interested in joining forces has to be willing to work pro-bono for a while, and be serious about making this a reality.

Expectations?

Is it right to place expectations on people? Either romance, or on your friends, I've always had high expectations. If it is ok to have expectations, where do you draw the line? I mean, if you meet so...
