{"title":"John Arden Kinzer","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eI was born in Missouri, the son of a Methodist Minister, and have lived most of my life in Minnesota. I attended the University of MN toward a degree in Radiology and worked in Willmar, Bemidji, Grand Marais, and Crosby. I've been carving for 50+ years, starting in my early 20's with encouragement from the founder of the North Home School. I am an avid outdoorsman with a passion for birds, fishing, and hunting. A long and successful career in Radiology helped support my hobbies. I carve songbirds, decoys, birds of prey, and I also create whimsical rocking toys and wall art. My work has been accepted into juried art exhibits, winning many awards, including a best-in-show award. I took 2 years off from carving when I received a pancreas transplant,\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"folk-art-circle-of-life-wall-hanging","title":"Folk Art Circle Of Life Wall Hanging","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a whimsical wooden wall hanging that we call Circle of Life.
