About
oleander Lupien Smith grew up in Attleboro,, Massachusetts with a single mother and attended local attleboro schools. From a young age, they loved drawing, constantly doodling and making little books and narratives. They loved dinosaurs, dragons, predatory animals, and all the things deemed “for boys”, They continued to foster their skill and their love of nature and ferocity throughout their childhood and went on to attend the new Hampshire institute of art (now the institute of art and design at new England college) where they graduated magna cum laude with a bachelors in illustration.
Oli now lives in western mass with their boyfriend, two cats, and three rats. they’ve fostered an art image celebrating all of the things they love most: wolves, werewolves, dark fantasy, pagan and tarot art, and tattoo design. they’ve started to become a frequent face at local art markets and look forward to vending at more events, bringing the fantastical narrative of their art, design, and jewelry wherever they land.
