Meet our Board Members

Ann Webborn, Vice Chair

Despite being somewhat retired from her career as an occupational therapist, Ann has worked at The Art Studios since its inception in 1992, where she teaches a beginners and intermediate printmaking class.  Ann strongly believes in the benefits of making art and being part of an art community for individuals with a mental illness and/or addictions.

Annalies Camfferman, Director

Annalies is a retired psychiatric nurse dedicated to creating a vibrant arts scene in Vancouver. She is a recipient of the Mayor’s Arts Awards, an avid volunteer, and a former member of The Cultch’s Board of Directors. Her support for Vancouver Recovery Through Art is a perfect combination of her interest in art and former career in mental health.

Kevin Love, Director

Kevin is a lawyer whose current practice focuses largely on mental health law at the Community Legal Assistance Society.  He helps clients with their legal issues, at often a very difficult time in their lives, but is excited to help our charity that takes a much broader view of recovery and wellness.
