Born in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, Al Dowayan pursued her education earning a Master's degree in Systems Analysis and Design at London Metropolitan University and attended art courses in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Bahrain and London.

Initially embarking on a career in the oil industry, she later made a full transition to the realm of art. Her artistic endeavors primarily delve into the intricate intersections of personal and political themes, particularly concerning women's rights within the constraints of conservative Saudi Arabian laws.

These laws include prohibitions on women's travel, driving, and even the public mention of a woman's name. Currently, Al Dowayan resides in London, England, where she is furthering her artistic pursuits by pursuing a Master's degree in Contemporary Art Practice in the Public Sphere at the prestigious Royal College of Art.
