Mastering art and business is quite a challenge. Considering how you want others to view your art is something to think about before deciding how to show the art.
I see some artists jump into marketing their art fulltime before they are ready and it can really hurt them and some quit with much still to give.
I worked for a company that marketed art and it showed me a lot about how people view art. Amazingly some people fall in love with bad art just because someone else raves over it. It is neat to see different people's reactions to art. Sometimes people would pay $750 for a print that they could have bought for $50 or less at Walmart without the faux gold leaf or silver leaf mat! It blew my mind to see what people would pay for $5.00 prints! It definitely taught me that people will buy art even bad art if it is presented in the right way. A lot of the time perception is all you need to sell loads of art.
