Artist Suzie Hightshoe | Summer Sorbet Women's Relaxed Hoodie
Close your eyes and think of the coldest, sweetest, most colorful thing about summer. Raspberry sorbet melting at the edges. A slushie so bright it almost glows. The kind of treat that makes everything feel like a vacation. Suzie Hightshoe painted that feeling — bold, drippy, alive with color — and wrapped it around this relaxed-fit hoodie. It's the layer for cool summer evenings on the porch, for early-fall weekends when you're not quite ready to let go of the season, and for any time of year you need to bring a little sunshine back into the room. Sum-mer lovin' life — it might as well be you. Rules are suggestions. Summer is short. This hoodie brings the sweetness with it every single time. ☀️🍧
Suzie Hightshoe is an Iowa educator, storyteller, and photographer whose life's work has been built on a single, luminous belief: that if we are quiet enough, we can hear the story the world is trying to tell us.
Born into a family with more than 150 years of combined teaching legacy — her aunts' manuscripts, plays, poems, and sheet music now preserved at the Museum of Education at the University of Northern Iowa — Suzie carried that legacy into 40 years of her own classroom. Along the way she earned the National Social Studies Teacher of the Year award (1996), traveled to Japan as a Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher, and served as an educational ambassador to Russia, bringing cultures together through the universal language of story. Her fifth graders slept under the stars during Iowa's Sesquicentennial. They doused old cemeteries, rode steamboats on the Mississippi, walked alongside wagon trains, and shared Norwegian dinners in Decorah. History was never something Suzie taught from behind a desk.
For Suzie, photography IS storytelling — the camera lens a portal through which she can hear thunder, smell lilies, feel the flutter of a kitten's fur, and taste the first sip of a bold morning coffee. Her art invites you to slow down, look closer, and find meaning in the places and faces most people walk right past.
"Everything and everyone is Art." — Suzie Hightshoe
