The Artists Behind the Work
Art Born From
Bloodline,
Not Trend
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, Montserratian, 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.
Anthony Joyette
Legacy Artist · Among the First Black Canadian Artists, Montreal
A poet and visual artist who understood that Caribbean voices needed to be heard in the halls where they had been erased. Uncle Trevor's legacy lives in every piece Livity Tree Art creates — a transmission that did not end with his passing.

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.
