ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I traveled to Switzerland a few years back for the first time, and was simply amazed by the beauty of the countryside. As an animal & wildlife artist, I was determined to see some cows during my visit and was thrilled when I had the chance. I knew the cows would be wearing cowbells, but it didn't occur to me that I would be hearing the din of cowbells in the distance during our entire stay. They were far enough away to be pleasant and not overwhelming. The title of the piece, "Splendid Diversions" was inspired by a hike in the hills during which we got a little lost (in the rain). The alternative route eventually led us to a farm We walked in the rain with shoes caked in mud right up to the fence—on the other side of some friendly cows. With the owners blessing, we got to meet those beautiful bovines and got to get a close look at 100 year old cow bells. It was quite the day.

American painter, Aimée Rolin Hoover, has devoted more than twenty years to depicting animals and nature. Initially, she attributed her early exploration of animal imagery simply to her lifelong affection for animals. But as her artistic practice developed, she discovered a much deeper connection between animals, nature, and healing. Encounters with animals—whether locking eyes with a coyote or the gentle touch of a horse's muzzle—revealed to her a deeper awareness of life and her surroundings. These moments provided brief but welcome respites from the human tendency to overthink, guiding her to sense, feel, and connect. Her current body of work is inspired by this belief in the remarkable power of animals to ground us in the present moment, enriching our connection with life. Through her expressive paintings, she aims to capture the essence of these subtle yet profound moments, using her subjects as portals to invite viewers to experience joy, peacefulness, curiosity, and introspection. Aimée currently works and lives in southern California with her husband Scott, their dog Björn, and their cat Sesame.
