Women Painting Women (WPW) started off as a blog and turned into a movement that features contemporary women artists painting the female form. The group's name came from the goal of the group, which was to showcase works of women by contemporary women artists.

Judy Takács is a contemporary figurative painter, known for her realistic paintings from her ongoing, traveling portrait series, Chicks with Balls: Judy Takács paints unsung female heroes. “Takács is a figurative artist who tells stories about people who have something uplifting to share.” She is an elected member of, and past Social Media Chair for Allied Artists of America.
