Artists don't need to add disclaimers to their work. They are not journalists. That would be ridiculous. The only relevant question you have to ask yourself is whether she (herself) presented herself as a journalist. If not then this is all a bit weird to accuse her of anything. Obviously artists can use photo montages. And obviously artists don't even have to disclose that anywhere. The art can stand for itself.

Apologies if my comment read with the implication that she needed to? To clarify, I don't care in the slightest whether she adds a disclaimer or not. After reading the article, which was pretty blunt, I was trying to figure out whether she had been forced to add a disclaimer of sorts (because had that been there initially, I would have assumed it would have been mentioned in the article). I guess her work went 'viral' and now people are accusing her of being dishonest in a way that (again, I assume!) she (most likely!) didn't set out to be. At least that was my take. I could be completely wrong and she could have set out to manipulate the entire world - but I'd prefer to give her the benefit of the doubt. Hanlon's razor and all that :-)
