I doubt it. I would assume either she has permission or the copyrights have expired. She's doing it very publicly. And very well IMO. Quite Obviously, a lot of skill and artistic ability is required to achieve the results she's accomplished. I applaud that. If I possessed that level of skill, which I of course do not, I would probably apply it to some other artistic endeavor, but each to their own. To say that it's "wrong" implies some kind of moral judgement. I don't believe that any creative process is immoral, whether it borrows from previous work or not. If that is the standard, then Shakespeare was corrupt, in that most of his plays borrowed plot lines and characters from previous works. I think we sometimes get caught up in a contemporary pretension that applies some kind of arbitrary judgement to creative endeavors. Whether the lady's work is fine art or not is not for me to judge. But it's certainly artful, and it's most certainly not "wrong."
