Livity Tree Art · The Matriarchal Collection
Erased
Daughters
A Journey Through the Caribbean and Its Sacred Mothers
A coffee table art book reclaiming the divine feminine hidden inside Caribbean history — through original prints, ancestral storytelling, and the truth they tried to bury.
The Caribbean is the most layered, most violently assembled region on earth. And at the center of its story — erased from nearly all of the telling — is a woman.
Erased Daughters is a large-format art book tracing the divine feminine across every civilization that made the Caribbean what it is: Kemetic Africa, Caribbean First Nations, Celtic Europe, Amerindian tradition, and the diaspora that holds all of it in one body.
Through original prints from the Matriarchal Collection and the words of those who carry these lineages, this book is a portal. A mirror. A reclamation.
Through original fine art prints by Livity Tree Art founder Katherin Joyette, and the hidden histories that illuminate each work, this book is a portal into the most erased story in the modern world: the story of the mothers.
This is not a history lesson. History was written by those who erased them.
This is a remembering.
Each chapter moves through a specific lineage — its divine feminine tradition before colonization, the crossing that brought it to the Caribbean, and the miraculous, stubborn, body-deep survival of that tradition in the culture, food, ceremony, language, and love of the Caribbean woman alive today. The Matriarchal Collection's original artwork anchors every chapter — from the Motherhood Reclamation that opens in direct conversation with Picasso, to the Triple Spiral Goddess with her arms bound behind her back, to the Caribbean Mother sitting in full carnival splendor beneath the descending sun, holding her daughter, wearing the knowledge of every lineage on her body.
This book is for the Caribbean daughter who has always felt ancient without knowing why. For the diaspora woman who carries grief she cannot trace. For anyone who has ever looked at the divine and felt that something was missing — something that looked like her.
She was never missing. She was hidden. And now she has her name back.
The Procession — Erased Daughters Exhibition Opening
A formal gallery opening of the full Matriarchal Collection as a curated procession. Guests walk through the works in order with live narration, music, and the lineage boards on easels. Wine, cultural food, and a closing ceremony.

Livity Tree Artists
The Artists Behind the Work
Livity Tree Art is not a brand conceived in a marketing meeting. It is the living continuation of a matrilineal legacy spanning Kalinago St. Vincent, Eritrean royal lineage - grandparent lineages, each carrying sovereign Indigenous identity, spiritual authority, and noble standing that colonial reclassification buried.
The late Anthony Joyette — among the first Black Canadian artists recognized in Montreal — planted a seed that now blooms through Katherin and the entire Livity Tree Art family. His vision of art as resistance, as cultural reclamation, as a transmission to future generations, is the heartbeat of everything we make.

Rooted in the Caribbean Aboriginal
The Kalinago, Arawak, and Ciboney peoples were the first nations of the islands the world now calls the Caribbean. Their cosmology, matrilineal kinship structures, and earth-based spiritual practices form the living root of Livity Tree Art.
Art as Ancestral Transmission
Our art is not decorative. It is channeled through ceremony, breathwork, meditation, and deep ancestral research. Each piece carries encoded cultural memory — a portal to lineages that colonial history tried to erase.
Living the Culture — Not Displaying It
Livity means the culture lives through you. Not behind glass. Not on a shelf. On your body, in your home, in your daily choices. You are not a museum visitor — you are a living heir.
Your Ancestors
Were Never Lost.
Only Waiting.
Bring them home. Hang them on your walls. Wear them on your skin. Carry them in your accessories. Livity Tree Art exists so that the first peoples of the Americas and Caribbean are never erased again.
