Therese_Masters_Jacobson_-_NWMAC_segment_12-6-11.mp3 Local artist Therese Masters Jacobson recently discussed her background and education in the world of art, particularly watercolor, on Pioneer 90.1. Artists and those who support the fine arts are featured each week on Pioneer 90.1, Tuesday at 3:05PM, as part of the Northwest Minnesota Arts Council feature series.
