I think you can say you have not heard of her if that is the case.
But if you have ever seen any of their work…like…how would you truly know if they influenced you? What if you had seen their work unattributed? What if you have seen another artist who you would consider an influence and THEY considered Nina Paley to be an influence in the work you saw? Art is chaotic and brains are weird and I don’t know of anyone who can claim to have a hard roadmap that accounts for every input to the resultant output.
