    I would keep them separate. Try to get gallery shows for the big
    pieces. Take an appropriate mix to shows. 

    For more help with shows, I recommend the blog of Luann Udell.

    Well, post the address! Another great place to get help with websites
    is theswitchboards.com

    Ah, this might be a good time to start over. Give yourself a name
    with more room for growth. If you want to keep the name, see someone
    at the Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, or speak to student lawyers
    at your local legal clinic.
