    Thanks for your suggestions everyone. I will consider all of it. I
    did walk the streets of SoHo and the village a few years ago and
    found most shops were designer owned. The Upper East Side does not
    seem to have any real interest unless the pieces are gold and
    diamonds.The few boutiques/galleries I've had work in in NY didn't
    really sell anything, because the clientele was too conservative to
    purchase jewelry my size...even if they liked it. I seem to need to
    find galleries in the Southwest. Everyone seems tto be more
    comfortable with big silver jewelry there. I get such a different
    reaction when I'm in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona in the summer... I
    do always ask for the buyer's ccontact information and try to find
    out if they're looking for new artists and I would never walk in
    expecting to show actual pieces. I do one of a kind work so I was
    kind of hoping the website would replace getting a catalog printed. I
    don't talk to gallery owners aboutt the metaphysical properties of
    the stones, but I do provide that information on my website as I am
    often asked about it. Thank You Nancy Goodenough for all of your
    helpful suggestions and the referral. I will check it out.I was
    interested in the Visiting Artists program for next year. I will look
    into the Las Vegas one. Thank You everyone for your insightful
    suggestions!
