The COVID-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for many creatives to learn new skills and approaches to their crafts. WFYI’s Jill Ditmire spoke over the phone with visual artist and commercial designer Omar Rashan about how he's making the most of the challenge -- for his business, his family, and his art.
