Art and design presented by the artistic ladies of special needs
In one of the corners we met the artist with special needs Haila Al Muhaisin
that came from an artistic family, specializes in fine art, challenged her disability
to show what she possesses of talents and potentials and draw them on her
paintings by her foot, as she was born without arms.
Haila has got this talent since birth, and began after the encouragement
by her family in her childhood drawing the first lines of her paintings during
childhood supported by her family, and
the support of her mother who gave her some of the skills that Haila mastered after
training.
Haila did not stop then but improved in her talent after engaging in a number
of training courses in this field, one of which was with Fine artist Shuaa Al Dossari
for an entire year, including the participating in local exhibitions that
attracted the public in different exhibitions in the Kingdom and in the Gulf.
In the beginning Haila depended on the marketing for her talent through
electronic networking sites stressing that they are very required at the moment
and you just need to follow certain methods to address the targeted audience to
send the message.
In another corner talked Um Saeed, that participated to show her products in
the coffee and accessories industry, from her beginnings in home as a result of
some special circumstances, and succeeded in her work and moved to the local
market, but in the midst of business she faced some of the challenges that
prevented her from continuing to work.
Um Saeed did not stop at the first difficulties that appeared in her way but insisted
with her self confidence and started again from home and was able to name the
industry and to offer her business in exhibitions in the Kingdom until her products
become required.
Designer Fatima Ali Hijab (Um Basim) an older lady and infected with cancer, and
despite of that she participates in any exhibition displaying designs of customized
visits and trips bags of local heritage,
she begins her design and then implementation, and all are within The workshop inside
her house.
She began sewing since she was in elementary school, specifically the fourth
grade of primary and continued to improve her skills in this field, but she did not
need this skill, until after facing family troubles where she was blessed with
unique living style due to the work of her husband and children in a trade,
after being robbed forced to work in design and sewing until their trade grew
and became required with the support of Jood Association from which she found the
support in various fields, including training and business development and the
financial support, their relationship extended to 13 years.
Although whoever may watch those bags would think at first glance that they have been produced by a huge company or a
factory known for being one of the attributes of high quality, but Um Basim stresses
that all of them are produced from home.
For her part, Lulua Al Dafffa talked from
Jana center to support women projects of Productive Families, which provides
support for projects starting from 4200 trials up to 250,000 riyals, in addition to the project of
