This painting is about a determination to inch forward towards what is calling you, being gentle with yourself in times of transition, and following your intuition. The title is inspired by the 1927 poem, “Desiderata” by Max Ehrmann, which includes these two lines: "…be gentle with yourself" And "…whether or not it is clear to you, the universe is unfolding as it should." Symbolistically, deer can represent Intuition, sensitivity, and gentleness. Doves can represent new beginnings, peace, love, luck, and prosperity. Looking through the lens of both the animal symbolism and the lines from the poem, I see the deer taking deliberate, cautious steps in the direction that’s calling to it, accompanied by the dove, who’s guiding and encouraging the deer along the way.

Aimée Rolin Hoover is an American painter who 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 feeling 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.
