Drawing from personal experiences of navigating multicultural spaces\, her work examines feelings of displacement and the complexities of cultural representation.\nThrough painting and visual storytelling\, she creates intimate narratives that reflect both individual and collective experiences. By exploring personal and universal themes\, she challenges perceptions and invites meaningful conversations around identity\, family and connection. Central to her practice is an interest in how cultural traditions\, memory and relationships shape a sense of self. Her art seeks to foster empathy\, encourage dialogue\, and celebrate the diverse experiences that contribute to our understanding of who we are and where we belong. \nRachael Lee is a painter whose work centres on the figure within psychologically charged spaces. Drawing on memory\, relationships and lived experience\, she creates ambiguous worlds that hover between the familiar\, the imagined and somewhere less easily defined.\nThe paintings invite a slower looking\, allowing the viewer to become immersed in spaces that shift between the recognisable and the uncertain. Figures appear exposed\, concealed or absorbed within worlds that resist being fully located.\nRecent paintings have become increasingly playful with space\, as figures and remembered fragments shift and transform through paint.\nRather than offering a fixed narrative\, the work leaves space for the viewer to bring their own memories and experiences. \nZsubilla has been living in the UK for over 18 years\, she produces art in her Studio at TOSH\, Bournemouth\, on the South Coast of England.\nHer practice is intentionally diverse\, embracing a wide range of subject matter\, from portraiture and the human figure to landscape\, abstraction\, and observational studies.\nHer recent abstract paintings explore the relationship between memory\, atmosphere and emotion through layers of acrylic ink\, acrylic paint. They invite the audience into imagined landscapes shaped by colour\, movement and light inspired by childhood stories about magical kingdoms. The paintings are intentionally open to interpretation\, and encourage people to discover their own connection with the artworks.

SUMMARY:Community Qigong with Rakhee - Monday's
DESCRIPTION:oin me for Monday evening qigong in Boscombe – gentle movement\, deep breathing\, and stillness. A chance to arrive fully in your body\, release what the weekend left behind\, and meet the week from a place of calm rather than rush. \nEach month follows a different theme\, moving with the seasons and the elements. We explore traditional forms with curiosity and playfulness\, learning ancient practices that help us meet modern life with more ease. \nNo experience needed. Come as you are. \nWhat is qigong? \nQigong (pronounced “chee-gong”) is an ancient Chinese practice of gentle movement\, breath\, and meditation. \nImagine tai chi’s flowing grace\, yoga’s mindful awareness\, and meditation’s stillness – all woven together. You move slowly\, breathe deeply\, and allow your attention to settle. \nIt’s less about doing it “right” and more about feeling your way into each movement. Playful. Meditative. Restorative. \nYou don’t need to be flexible\, fit\, or coordinated. You just need to be willing to slow down and pay attention. \nMoving with the Seasons \nMarch: Wood Element \nAs the earth wakes and green shoots push through soil\, we work with Wood energy – the element of spring\, growth\, and new beginnings. Wood forms stretch and open\, helping us release what’s stuck and make space for what wants to emerge. Perfect timing as we move toward the spring equinox. \nApril: The Five Elements \nIn April\, we journey through all Five Elements – Wood\, Fire\, Earth\, Metal\, Water. Each element has its own quality and wisdom\, connecting to different organs\, emotions\, and seasons. You’ll learn sequences that work with each element\, discovering how qigong maps the body as energy and flow. \nWhat people say“I’ve never done anything like this before – it was extraordinary\, moving\, enlivening. I feel like I’ve found my thing.” – Sara \nDetailsDates: This is an ongoing class – each month explores a different focus\, following the seasons and the elements.Time: 5.45–6.45 pmVenue: TOSH\, Gladstone Mews\, Boscombe\, Bournemouth \nCost:• £10 per session (early bird until 2 February) You need to book a minimum of two classes for this price• £12 drop in if space allows or per session after 2 February \nBookingPlease book via Rakhee’s website: Monday Night Qigong Booking.
