“Familiar” – a documentary short by Anna Thorsen
One year ago, my daughter proposed a project. I am so happy I agreed. It was a powerful and transformative experience.
Familiar is a short documentary about my Swedish mother, Karin Thorsen. Her story is told through the letters she wrote to her best friends from 1968-2001.
This project was my daughter’s Grad Film for Langara’s Documentary Film Production course.
Director: Anna Thorsen
Executive Producer: Annat Kennet and Langara College
Writer/Editor: Anna Thorsen
Cinematographer: Anna Thorsen
Lighting/Sound: Anna Thorsen
Original Score: Julian Bowers
Research Support: Katarina Thorsen
Translator: Katarina Thorsen
To watch, go to: FAMILIAR
Thank you Anna for this transformative experience.
Simple OWL drawing lesson using kid-grade felt pens
[Film by Anna Thorsen]
I teach OWL drawing for most, if not all, of my creative engagement workshops. I use the OWL image as it is easy to break it down into simple geometric shapes on which to build form.
I usually use china marker.
But we don’t always have the “right” material.
We have to work with what we have. Below are OWL drawings by SFU Restorative Justice students using just dollar store felt pens.
Working with what you have. Freedom within limits. That’s when magic happens.

“I can’t wait to see you and meet you at the top.”
It’s early Sunday morning, December 13, 2015, and I have just said bon voyage to my daughter as she heads to New York City for a test run month, paving the way to her big move.
A few months ago, she wrote on her mindmap:
Spend 1 month test living in New York City.
Oh Anna, my extraordinary daughter. Way to manifest!
She’s been to New York before, many times now. So that isn’t new. She has lived in San Francisco for 4 years, so moving away isn’t new. But what is new is that she’s 30, she’s graduating into a new chapter and she’s manifesting her dreams- DARING GREATLY- stepping into her new, authentic, successful, whole self.
Just take a listen to this video Anna made, facilitated by Peter Breeze during his Be a Star Workshop (Evan Eisenstadt Photography):
—
YES!
Our bodies and those of our daughters were created by a seamless web of nature and nurture, of biology informed by consciousness, that we can trace back to the beginning of time. Thus, every daughter contains her mother and all the women who came before her. The unrealized dreams of our maternal ancestors are part of our heritage, To become optimally healthy and happy, each of us must get clear about the ways in which our mother’s history both influenced and continues to inform our state of health, our beliefs, and how we live our lives. Every woman who heals herself helps heal all the women who came before her and all those who will come after her. – Dr. Christiane Northrup, Mother-Daughter Wisdom
This post is not only dedicated to Anna but to my Mormor (Kristina), Anna’s Mormor (Karin) and my son Julian, a true feminist.
Let’s dance!

Did something unexpected happen? Laura asked. #sfo #reflection
I had a wonderful conversation about my San Francisco trip today with my incredible friend, Laura Mack. As always, she managed to ask powerful questions that nudge me to reflect. Did anything happen during the trip that was unexpected? Hmmm…
The art event was amazing- and not unexpected.
The street art filled my soul with glee- expected.
The photoshoots delighted- expected.
Friends, new and old, were amazing- expected.
San Francisco was a dreamland- expected.
Working on business with my daughter seamless and empowering- expected.
But what was unexpected was my lack of anxiety. What was unexpected was that I felt deserving of feeling good.
My journal entry on Noe Street, the Castro, San Francisco August 20, 2013 [unedited]:
What is it like to wake up to a morning in SF with the place to myself? My mind wants to wander to a place of anxiety- yet at the same time my heart feels strangely at peace.
TRUST is a word that comes up regularly in me. I can and will trust that the flow I am feeling is the start of trust or the depths of trust or the familiarity of trust. Have I actually ever felt the theme/emotion/state of trust?
TRUST- definition:
trust- reliance, confidence, strength
I looked around the room last night, as Anna’s friends were bouncing off the ceiling and joyously sharing together, and was touched by how we find ourselves in this cottage apartment in the Castro because of our work together, because of my art.
Is it hard to imagine because I do not allow myself to trust it? Is it hard to allow myself to relax into it because I do not allow myself the time? Is this trip about taking a break or stepping into it?
Such a fascinating time to simply let go of the old “unquiet heart” way of doing things and softening to accepting that I deserve this right now.
Is it hard to imagine because I don’t need to imagine it because I am already living it?!
Money lives in New York. Power sits in Washington. Freedom sips cappuccino in a sidewalk café in San Francisco.
– Joe Flower

Booty Call Wednesdays and @bypoststreet Collaboration 2!
by post street’s COLLECTION 2 was created in celebration of Chaos to Couture at the Met.
To launch the collection, we collaborated with Booty Call Wednesdays in San Francisco!
I created several portraits of notorious SF locals. A backdrop was created by my daughter, Anna T Fabulous, for the event. The paper dress I created (my third one) was premiered at Booty Call Wednesday May 22 and my daughter “killed it.”

Face of the month collaboration with Global Model Scouting and @bypoststreet!
Introducing our new collaboration! Face of the Month with:
FACE OF THE MONTH
At the end of every month GMS will pick a “Face of the month” from the models on our site. This will be someone that we think stands out. What makes them stand out could be uniqueness, coolness, attitude or perhaps great personal charisma. The height and size is of no consequence.
[source]
First edition:
‘Sofie’
It’s a family affair!
GMS was founded by my best friend, Maud Kerzendörfer, from Stockholm, Sweden!
by post street is directed by my daughter, Anna Thorsen, and I am by post street‘s artist-in-residence! Anna is also a guest blogger for GMS!
Filming/editing of my creative process is provided by my son, Julian Bowers!

With love and gratitude in my heart and soul, I say thank you to my parents…
With love and gratitude in my heart and soul, I say thank you to my parents and hello to our mutual dreams.
Missing them feels similar to claustrophobia sometimes. But the missing is infused with deep gratitude for the childhood and camaraderie they gave me.
In 2012, my father knew, before he died, that we had fulfilled our goal of creating a book, and I am eager to finally share Drawn Together with the world- just a few weeks from now!
My next book, Molly, is a project my mother was deeply passionate about and my parents and I researched Vancouver history together.
It’s a remarkable healing process for me to carry on “our work.”
There were so many epic, powerful, joyous, deep, difficult, wonderful experiences in 2012 but truly, for me, the best was watching my children living their dreams, traveling the world, pursuing their passions. I love being a mom.
