Eileen Brooker’s 90th Birthday
To celebrate our inspirational life member – Eileen Brooker’s 90th Birthday, Southern Beaches Regional Arts helped organise her special day with a party in Eileen’s private Gallery at her home in Midway Point. Approx 90 people attended including Tasmanian sculptor Stephen Walker, Rob Valentine and friends from as far away as Western Australia.
Eileen , with the help of Tasmanian Regional Arts representative Chris Cowles doing the slide show, did a thoroughly entertaining presentation of some interesting stories from her past and afterwards there was musical entertainment by Michelle Pears and Jim Beresford. Michelle also wrote a verse especially for Eileen ... (see attached card)
Eileen Brooker has lived in the Sorell Municipality since 1973 and you can see her mural depicting the Historical Sorell Saleyards on the side of the Sorell library.

Author / Artist Bio: Lee-Anne Peters (artist name: L.Willson)
Holographic I Am – Soft Pastels and charcoal
I Am Goddess – The cover of an upcoming book Lee-Anne is writing. This drawing was done with soft pastels and charcoal.
Artist, Author, Teacher, Mentor and Radio host, Lee-Anne Peters (nee Willson) was born in Tasmania and in 2009 settled back into the Southern Beaches area.
A born entrepreneur Lee-Anne has always been an ‘action girl.’ At the age of 19, Lee-Anne started her short hairdressing career and at the age of 29 she founded her online business: Temple of Balance.
Lee-Anne is the author of three books and two card decks which include: From Lack to Abundance, Aligning with the Speed of Light and Healing Energy Cards.
With a strong spiritual connection, this uniqueness reflects in Lee-Anne’s artwork which is surreal and an expression of her creative imagination. Lee-Anne’s soft pastel and charcoal works are highly sought after and are hanging in homes and businesses around the world. They are full of colour, movement and energy.
Lee-Anne’s ability to draw is a natural talent and the only formal training she had was during art class in high school.
Lee-Anne always signs her work under her artist name: L.Willson as she started drawing well before she was married and wished to keep the Willson name going after her father had four daughters.
