The new series available via Emily Hadley is called "Dancing in the rain". As someone living with a dynamic disability & chronic pain I’m learning to find the beauty in the everyday, searching out those glimmers. Nature has always been my refuge & continues to inspire my work. The rhythm of the seasons, to the crashing of waves, the patterns of the natural world press on no matter what is happening in our own lives, something bigger than us. I find that hugely comforting. Joy & pain can coexist! I think that’s something we can all relate too.

Zoë Kittow is a Devon-based abstract artist whose work blends instinct, movement, and colour into vivid, emotionally honest paintings. Exhibited across the UK, her practice reached a milestone with a recent piece shown and auctioned at Sotheby’s in support of Fair Shot. Rooted in the Devon coast and countryside where she lives, Zoë’s process is guided by feeling; Layering marks that echo tides, wind, and seasonal rhythms. Living with a dynamic disability and chronic pain shapes her perspective without defining it; she seeks out small glimmers of joy and resilience, holding space for both light and shadow. Her recent series, Dancing in the Rain, embraces that tension: the comfort of nature’s steady pulse alongside the messier truths of everyday life. Each canvas is built to be felt as much as seen: a place to slow down, look inward, and find resonance. Zoë’s confident marks and intuitive color work invite connection without forcing a story, leaving room for viewers to bring their own meanings. The result is work that feels immediate yet enduring, quietly uplifting, deeply human.
