About this painting:
This portrait of a rescue goat named Totes is a tribute to joy, kindness, freedom and possibility. Totes' backstory happens to embody all of this...

United States Coast Guard Guardsman Michael Toledo and his colleagues discovered a baby goat all alone in the middle of the road. The kid’s left eye was clouded over, and his umbilicus was still attached.

Toledo and his boss made some calls to veterinarians seeking advice, but they were told to leave the goat where they had found him and let nature take its course. The two guardsmen weren’t willing to do that — and with nowhere else to take the little goat, Toledo brought him home. He named him Totes.

He eventually took Totes to Farm Sanctuary, where Totes 
is currently living out his happy goat life surrounded by fellow rescued farm animals and caring humans.

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.
