In this episode of Her Shrink Ray Eye, I step back and ask: Where are the women in this hobby? From contest rooms to community groups women are underrepresented – but why?

I explore the question through multiple lenses: gender bias in the wider art world, cultural conditioning, marketing, subject matter preferences and how time, community, and visibility all play a role.  I bring in a sample of real data from five shows to highlight patterns of participation and absence.  This episode doesn’t give one simple answer --- instead, it opens a conversation.  If you’ve ever felt like there are more voices to be heard in this hobby, I hope this one gives you something to think about.

Its not just about being included – it’s about belonging.
