Do you have any record of your other correspondence with the artist, particularly anything that might have gotten her upset? It just seems like we're missing a lot of the story here.
What I'd say is that you should confront her if possible about it being CAD instead of USD, but let the fees go. Did the artist ask you to send it as a gift? That's an issue as it's against Paypal's TOS and leaves you with no recourse should things go wrong. As for the fees, I can understand where you're not happy about them, but I wouldn't say that they're unfair. They would have applied the same both ways.
Edit: The more I think about the fees, the less I'm sure. On the one hand, they're just the cost of business, but on the other hand, the artist essentially charged you a dollar for nothing. I'm interested to see other people's perspectives on this.
