Born in 1988 in Jeddah, Huda Beydoun graduated with a degree in Special Education, majoring in Autism Spectrum Disorders. While painting was Beydoun’s first discipline, recent works involve digital art, mixed media and photography, which she further enhanced with studies in Graphic Design and Photography at Dar Al-Hekma College, Jeddah. Beydoun has displayed her work in various art exhibitions such as Athr Gallery, ROOM NO.5, Jeddah, and Amber Gallery, Morocco.

The series Documenting the Undocumented is an asymmetrical reflection of the interaction (or lack there of) between some undocumented immigrants and the artist. This series was challenging as many undocumented immigrants are being deported from the Kingdom, therefore Beydoun masks their faces and identities with the docile Mickey Mouse silhouette. Beydoun chose the character of Mickey Mouse for his global significance and innocent, joyous symbolism, as this paralleled the actual unsettling feelings experienced by these undocumented immigrants while being photographed.
