Several works of Ledig’s capture intimate moments of womanhood, highlighting the paradox of strength and vulnerability, and the sense of sisterhood shared between women. When speaking about her influences, Ledig says: "There are many great women artists who inspire me. One of them is Alice Neel—I feel like she paved the way to show a mother's conflict, exhaustion, joy, and pain. To show pregnant bodies without idealisation, to show mothers with children. She made it okay to paint these topics. She also made it okay to be a woman and artist and mother."
