Don't Just Hang Your Culture.
Wear It. Carry It. Become It.
Your Aboriginal grandmothers did not separate adornment from ceremony. The way they wore their bodies was a declaration — of lineage, of sovereignty, of cosmological belonging. A feather was not decoration. A spiral carved into a pendant was not jewelry. It was a covenant with the ancestors.
Livity Tree Art was built to restore that relationship.
Turn Your Wall Into An Altar
In Amerindian tradition, the home was never separate from the sacred. Every object placed with intention carried prayer. Every image on a wall was a conversation with the ancestors.
Our art prints are not decoration. They are portals. When you hang a Spiral Goddess above your hearth, you are placing a Caribbean Aboriginal archetype in your space — one who predates every colonial religious institution, who survived every erasure, who is ready to speak directly to your DNA.
Why What You Wear & Display Matters
Colonial reclassification was not just political. It was sensory. They changed what first peoples wore, what they hung in their homes, what symbols they were allowed to carry. Amerindian adornment traditions were outlawed, burned, and replaced with the aesthetics of empire. Reclaiming sacred art and adornment is not nostalgia — it is decolonization in practice.

Not only does it deliver exceptional quality and vivid colors, but its inspiring message truly stands out. It isn't just about looking good — it's about making a statement and supporting Black, aboriginal and Indigenous cultures. Every piece tells a story.
