Simple. She's trying to keep it a secret.

Backstory time. Girl's poor, in a lower class family. One is a waiter, the other, a flower seller. Both aren't very rich, and the girl gets powers that can be described as 'human, but turned up to eleven'. I won't quite describe them all, but according to my calculations...

*calculates*

The girl has enough skill to match any human being in history, and quite easily surpass them. Imagine the world's greatest painter, the world's greatest potter or artist or drawer, and she can do in an hour what they spend years to achieve.

The thing is, is that she's trying to keep it secret. One, because she's afraid of the government. Two, because she isn't quite ready to explain to her parents how she managed to become a superhuman all of a sudden. But they're poor, the bills are coming, and so... well, its time to do stuff.

And by stuff, means 'create stuff and sell on ebay, to pay the bills'.

I can't recall which but in one book a character's mother made money by copying illustrations from books and selling the copies as originals. The character was sent into book shops to tear illustrations out of books and take them home.

Maybe a variation on that?
