About Us | Livity Tree Art
Our Roots
Livity Tree Art was born from a journey of healing and rediscovery. As an Afro-Indigenous woman, mother, artist, and advocate, I, Katherin Joyette, walked through years of challenges—illness, loss, and separation from ancestral knowledge—only to realize that the path back to wholeness was always hidden in my roots. Through art, I reconnected with the stories of my Caribbean, African, and Indigenous heritage, and with the sacred rhythm of Livity—a way of life that honors nature, community, and spiritual truth.
What Livity Represents
Livity is not just a word—it is a movement. It represents life force, balance, and the deep connection between people, the earth, and spirit. In Rastafari and Afro-Indigenous traditions, Livity calls us to live consciously, sustainably, and in harmony with one another. At Livity Tree Art, every piece of art, every garment, and every expression carries this energy.
Our Mission
We exist to preserve cultural heritage, amplify Indigenous voices, and reimagine art as a tool for resistance, healing, and truth-telling. Our mission is simple:
- To empower awareness of hidden histories and Indigenous knowledge.
- To inspire creativity that honors ancestral wisdom and sparks future possibilities.
- To stand for justice and sovereignty, using art as both shield and story.
Stories Behind Our Art
Each artwork and collection holds a story—of ancestors, resilience, and vision. From Caribbean legends and African cosmologies to Indigenous practices erased by colonization, we create and curate art that restores what was nearly lost. Many of our pieces are collaborations with artists across the diaspora, each bringing their own lived experiences, cultural memory, and artistic truth to the canvas.
Empowering Awareness, Inspiring Creativity
When you wear or hang a piece from Livity Tree Art, you’re not just embracing beauty—you’re joining a movement. Every purchase helps fuel cultural education, supports our artists, and invests in the revival of Indigenous voices long silenced by oppression.
Together, we are re-rooting. We are remembering. We are rising.

Founder, Indigenous creator
Katherin Joyette
Livity Tree Art was born from legacy—from the vibrant soul of my late uncle, Anthony Joyette, a celebrated Canadian contemporary painter and writer whose work carried the echoes of our Carib and Ethiopian ancestry. His art didn’t just speak—it roared with cultural truth, and it taught me that creativity is resistance, and storytelling is survival.
Inspired by his passion and guided by ancestral memory, I created Livity Tree Art to honor our roots and preserve the voices of Indigenous and African diasporic peoples through visual storytelling. Every brushstroke is a reclamation. Every piece, a tribute to what was lost—and what still lives.
At its core, Livity Tree Art is more than a collection of paintings. It is a movement grounded in Livity—a way of being that reveres nature, uplifts justice, and recognizes the sacred in all things. Through this platform, I raise awareness of the genocide faced by Indigenous peoples worldwide and offer a space for healing, remembrance, and cultural rebirth.
This is ancestral art for a new world. Rooted in culture. Nurturing spirits.
