Wow, you are really talented. I would be lying if I said being male or female had nothing to do with it. It does a little. It is after all another lens from which that particular artist sees through, like all experiences in life end up being lenses. It definitely effects the work but not in a matter of good vs bad, just different. Very much like different forms of the same genetic snow flake or flower, both are equally beautiful but they are different. I hope that makes sense.
I love your horse carvings, they are remarkable!
