Hi Allan...All-

    I am in this position as well. Having spoke with a gallery owner /
    friend, she doesn't like when artists advertise their site and says
    many galleries prefer that they don't ONLY if you are selling from
    your website. If your site is more of a 'virtual portfolio' there is
    no problem. In fact, if you have have a page listing the stores that
    carry your work you can argue your website is bringing them business.
    So, Allan, your site seems to be quite fine as a personal
    advertisement. Perhaps if you just removed the prices as not all
    galleries charge the same. It appears that you are not selling off
    the site. You can always add the page on where to find your work
    (both shows and galleries) and a small notice about contacting you to
    do custom work if desired. In the end, each gallery owner will have a
    different opinion but if you can show them that your site is not
    competing with their store I can't imagine it would be a problem. 

Cheers
Rachel
