'Talking Art' With Michael Kienzle

Carolyn Martin talks with Michael Kienzle, a painter whose exhibit “Outside the Lines” is currently showing at the Hudson River Gallery in Iowa City, and who also happens to be a University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics emeritus professor of Cardiology.

Listen to the conversation about how creating art opens us up to new possibilities, why it is never too late to incorporate art into our lives, and why our chosen professions do not define us. 

Michael Kienzle's work is on display at the Hudson River Gallery in Iowa City through November 11.
