Hend Al-Mansour's work emphasizes the power of women through figurative representations in an Islamic art style. She frequently places stylized figures against a backdrop of Arabic calligraphy, Islamic geometric design, and traditional Saudi women's art. Al-Mansour Media encompasses installations, screen printing, and murals, often combined. To broaden her creative expression, her artistic repertoire now includes 2D animation. Al-Mansour holds a Master of Fine Arts and a Master of Art History from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and the University of St. Thomas, respectively. She has received several grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Metropolitan Regional Council for the Arts. Al-Mansour earned the McKnight Fellowship in 2018 and the Jerome Fellowship for printmaking in 2013. She is a member of the Rosalux Gallery in Minneapolis, the Interfaith Artist Circle in the Twin Cities, and the national collective The Habibtis, a group of ten women artists who promote cultural diversity in the U.S.
