She was not only literate but also skilled in reading and drawing, qualities that played a pivotal role in shaping Al-Nasiri's early artistic education and fostering her passion for the arts.
While nearing graduation with a degree in philosophy, she received a scholarship to study art, a field she was more passionate about but had found limited opportunities to pursue in Yemen.
Her critical writings on visual art have been featured in numerous local and Arab newspapers and magazines, and she has contributed regular columns to multiple Yemeni publications.
[6] After earning her master's degree in Moscow, Al-Nasiri returned to Yemen in 1994 and joined the Aesthetic Science branch at Sanaa University as an Assistant Professor.
Al-Nasiri's early works focused on women’s issues, particularly their fears and struggles, as explored in her debut exhibition after graduation, "Closed World."
Over time, her focus shifted from gender-specific concerns to broader humanitarian themes, influenced by her philosophical studies, which she credits for broadening her artistic vision.
She also served as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper Tashkeel and played a key role in establishing the Contemporary Art Group, the Sana’a Atelier, and the Yemeni Fine Artists Syndicate.
