HANADY AL OTHMAN
Born with an artistic itch, growing up, Al-Othman was never presented with the opportunity to express her creativity through art as this was deemed not to be an ‘acceptable’ life choice, thus Qatar did not have universities that focused on art, consequently resulting in Al-Othman majoring in Zoology. Sometimes, art really runs in the family, and although there were so many restrictions, Hanady Al-Othman never backed down and continued to paint - in private, and without realizing she would make a master piece every once in a while, with her forte being oil and acrylic paintings. Never given the opportunity – or even the permission, to truly express her personal fondness for creating such pieces, Al-Othman has always sought to champion and coax her son Ahmed Al-Jufairi to follow his artistic calling.
