Re: the importance of printing

Emily,

Well, I suppose you could send a print to anyone who has ever made a  
positive comment about your submissions to the gallery.  That should  
unburden you of a lot of them!  As with shareware, you could ask for a  
modest contribution  to cover your expenses (say, $500 per matted  
print,  $250 unmatted, $750 framed).

Good luck!  You really have some great  things that most anyone would  
be glad to have grace their walls!

Roger
