My name is Angelina Villalobos Soto, and I go by my artist superhero name, onesevennine. With over 10+ years of experience, I am a Seattle-based Latine muralist, painter, educator, and illustrator.
My passion lies in creating murals that bring life and meaning to the spaces they inhabit. Drawing inspiration from my upbringing as a Xicana in the Pacific Northwest, my work beautifully blends elements of graffiti, anime, and fairytales.
As an artist, I am deeply mindful of how art can positively impact the community. I cherish every opportunity to engage with the community and create vibrant and captivating murals that leave lasting impressions. My ultimate goal is to design safe and beautiful spaces for community members, fostering mindfulness and meaningful connections through my art installations.
My journey into the world of art began with a pursuit in Graphic Design, but I soon realized that I wanted to create art that extended beyond the boundaries of a computer screen. After working over a decade with Art Primo, an online graffiti supply company, I transitioned from being a part-time artist to dedicating myself fully to mural work.
Driven by my passion, I founded House of the Wolves, named after my last name Villalobos. As a small business, I specialize in creating vibrant murals for a diverse range of clients, including Meta (formerly Facebook), The Seattle Seahawks, Climate Pledge Arena, and The Seattle Kraken.
My artistic vision is guided by a powerful quote from local KEXP VJ Gabe Teodros: “If a tree can’t grow there, I can’t grow there.” I draw attention to the struggle of growth in challenging spaces through my murals, often depicting nature and animals thriving amidst the manmade circumstances of urban sites.
Each of my murals aims to engage viewers to become part of their environment, encouraging observation, critique, and participation. I strongly believe that community engagement is essential for successful art planning and that art should be accessible to all.
Education is a central focus in my work, and I lead by example, showing the transformative power of art. My commitment to creating meaningful art that connects with the community drives my artistic journey.
