In the summer of 2011, Fred Somers received a commission from the Sisters of St. Joseph Carondolet in St. Paul to create a signature painting for their new retirement community, Carondolet Village.

How Fred was chosen to create the painting, how he used his artistic vision and powers to complete it, and the impact of its installation on the residents of the Village are essential elements of Genesis: The Art of Creation.
