"Painting the Roses Red"

Sadly this kind of thing happens a lot.  Someone makes their own artwork and someone uses it without the artists' permission.  And this happened to  Katie Woodger.  She made a fan art from "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. But then her image appeared on Disney cosmetic bags.  Disney never asked for her permission to use the image.  However this image belongs to Woodger because as soon as it was put down on paper, it was copyrighted to her!  Any use of it without her permission is violation of Copyright Laws!  The t-shirts have been stopped but still.....

My Opinion:
  1. shame on Disney!!!!!
  2. I hope Woodger at least gets some kind of apology and recognition for her artwork!
Question:

Can she sue Disney for this? (I think she could....although I don't know how far she would get going up against Disney).
