Art was her passion as a child, and it is what she discovered to be calling to her. Despite the fact that being an artist in her community was always regarded as a hobby rather than a profession, she knew from the start that it was what she wanted to do with her life. Sanaa followed through on her plan after school and studied Fine Art at the Scientific College of Design and has been a member of Omani Society of Fine Arts (OSFA), Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth.[4][5] (Diwan of Royal Court, Sultan Qaboos Higher Centre for Culture and Science),[6][7] youth studio and scientific club since 1999.
