That's amazing, and my answer is a definite yes.

I wanted to say she's a fraud, but then I thought, "Whatever, the Greeks believed in the Muses".

she proves that how one experiences art is as unique to each individual as how one indeed experiences God.

She has the skills, but i prefer her piano works.

The cheesyness obviously doesn't bother anyone.

She paints in the velvet embossed style.The only thing missing are the unicorns.

It is too bad that the CNN story wasn't really an investigative one. You mentioned the unicorns, and I thought the same thing. The picture with the horse at the end seems very similar to the scene in the movie Legend with the unicorns coming down the stream. Her picture of Heaven and her explanation of all the colors seemed almost too similar to the Robin William's movie What Dreams May Come. A little more investigating probably would have found she had seen these movies, or similar paintings and that these were the inspiration. Still, she does a good job. I don't really like the velvet embossed style, always thought those were just the cheap religious style paintings, thanks for clearing up the name of that style.
