Genesis: The Art of Creation

In 2011, Minnesota artist Fred Somers was commissioned by the Sisters of St. Joseph, Carondolet in St. Paul to paint the signature artwork for their new retirement complex, Carondolet Village. The film follows the creation of the painting from laying the canvas to final installation. It also includes Fred’s views on the spiritual life of the creative artist, the role of time and space in his work and a brief history of the Sisters’ work.
