Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
look for a local art gallery, and upon finding one, go in and show some of your work!.
a good place to start would be asking to be in a summer show, lots of smaller art galleries have summer shows that feature local talent, and that can get your work recognized!.

also, looking at your website, you are being to commercial!. quit trying to straight sell your art, and just allow people to admire it!.

the most important thing I can say is to not go into the gallery and tell them the prices of your work! if they ask, then tell them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your work is interesting because it's different!. I think your main asset here is the "out there" factor that comes from painting on a cylinder!. It will be hard to sell it apart from at markets etc!. unless you can take it to the next level, i!.e!. exploit the distortion feature!. Have a google at "anamorphic art" and maybe that will spark something that will let you explore the possibilities!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Check out a book called Making It As An Artist by JoAnn DePolo!. Great advice on what it takes to make it in the art profession and how to prepare for working with galleries!. You may find some suggestions in there about displaying your work in places other than an art gallery and possibly save money on paying gallery commission!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
