Meet Lupus Dei Art, the powerful creative project of Oleander (“Oli”), an illustrator and storyteller based in Massachusetts. Blending the ferocity of wolves with mythic symbolism and dark surrealism, their work invites us into an uncanny world where nature and identity collide in visually striking ways.

Art Crafted by Many Hats

Oli is more than just an artist. They’re an illustrator, jewelry maker, and small-batch print and button creator. Their signature style weaves together:

• Black-and-white ink illustrations and character designs
• Ethically sourced bone and animal-themed jewelry
• Zine collaborations and prints that explore identity, myth, and transformation

This isn’t just branding—it’s deeply personal visual storytelling rooted in lived experience and a deep reverence for the wild.

Found Roots, Local Reach

While based in Massachusetts, Lupus Dei Art has gained traction throughout New England. From featured gallery exhibitions to pop-ups at queer-friendly zine fests and maker markets, their presence feels like a bridge—connecting mythic, introspective art to broader regional communities. Oli’s approach underscores a communal, DIY ethos: each piece is handcrafted, ethical, and built to evoke curiosity.

What You’ll Find at Shoreline Summer Fest

Festivalgoers can meet Oli and explore their hauntingly beautiful collection, including:

• Detailed illustrated prints and zine pages
• Sticker packs and enamel pins featuring Lupus Dei’s signature wolf motifs
• Statement jewelry and small bone-inspired charms

Oli will be at the booth to chat about the intention behind each design, the meaning woven into their craft, and the journey behind their creative identity.

Community Through Ceremony & Craft

Lupus Dei Art isn’t just about making art—it’s about inviting conversations around identity, transformation, and myth. As a transmasc artist, Oli’s work is a celebration of self in flux, tapping into cultural and personal narratives. Whether you’re drawn to the wild symbolism or the personal storytelling, their booth offers a space to connect and explore what “wildness” means to each of us.
