No. As I said in my post she is not. But she does commissions for fans. Right now she is doing a lot of commissions (often of other people's characters) because she needs the money.
She is really excellent - and most of that comes from her level of sophistication. She has always been exposed to art of all kinds and she is aesthetically mature that way. I know she is great and I love it, but there are a lot of people out there doing this kind of work...not all of it excellent, but a lot of it is. She is certainly not alone.
