Artist Kate Shu | Abigail Forever, Just for the Vibe of It 100% Organic Cotton Hoodie
$84.00
Why this coffeeshop and not the one across the street? Why this chair, this song, this hoodie at the front of your closet? Sometimes there's no apples-to-apples explanation — it's the vibe, and the vibe is real. Abigail Forever, Just for the Vibe of It is for the people who trust that pull. Pull it on when the feeling is right and don't overthink it — the most authentic decisions usually start exactly that way.
Kate Shu is a South Korean-born, Iowa-raised artist, entrepreneur, and creative force whose life has been shaped by music, nature, resilience, and an unshakeable belief in the power of art to transform lives. Abandoned at birth and adopted at seven months old, Kate arrived in Minneapolis into the arms of a family who became her greatest champions — and set her on a path of extraordinary creative discovery.
By fourteen, Kate was performing with professional big bands across the Midwest. By sixteen, she had explored nearly every national park in the United States, often assisting her father — a landscape architecture professor and published author — in cataloging the trees, vines, and shrubs of North America. Over the next three decades, her creative life expanded to encompass theatre, painting, design, calligraphy, pottery, culinary art, textiles, and clothing design, alongside a lifelong love of music.
The heart behind the Kate Shu Collective lives in her grandmother, Alda Mae Zahner Hightshoe, who began every single day by reciting a list of things that were “sooo beautiful” — and who, despite being awarded an art scholarship, gave up her dream during WWII to become Rosie the Riveter. It is in Alda's honor, and in the spirit of every artist who was ever told their dream wasn't practical, that Kate built the Collective — to give talented creative people another way, another chance, and another reason to keep going.
“The hardest work is the HeART work — and it's always worth it.” — Kate Shu
