For many of us, the COVID-19 pandemic expands our definition of home -- now often also a work space, classroom and social venue. Visual Artist Shamira Wilson creates art with a unique perspective on place and connection.

From our Arts and Culture Desk, WFYI’s Jill Ditmire spoke with Wilson about how she uses her experiences with space to adjust to the stresses of social distancing. Wilson joined the discussion by phone.

Jill Ditmire was no stranger to the broadcast world. Her face and voice were a daily part of the lives of viewers and listeners in the Midwest for 25 years. She was the local news anchor during "All Things Considered" and a contributor to "Morning Edition," "Sound Medicine," "Art of the Matter “Curious Mix” and "Wednesday Live at 5:44." Jill's broadcast experience included anchoring and reporting news at television stations in Indianapolis, Detroit and Lafayette, including WTTV, WRTV, WLFI, WJBK, WTHR, WISH and the Ford Motor Company News Network. She produced her own television series on Indiana Public Television for eight years called “The Good Life” which showcased independent chefs, restaurants and local wineries.
