I don't think of myself as someone whose made an impact. I just want to be low key, paint and be good at it. I want to have my work, not my gender, stand out. That has always been my ultimate goal.
But if you're female you're going to stand out whether you like it or not, and that could be a good or bad thing. Most of the time you'll be seen as a piece of meat. But on the other hand, you might inspire other girls to paint too.
Every female who participates in this subculture chooses the path they want to go; if they want to use "being a female" as an advantage then so be it.
Everybody's different, to each their own.
