i agree that location is critical when pricing. art is viewed differently in various locations and worth is not equally distributed around the country.
i do live in a wealthy area of our country that happens to put a highly value on art and artisans.
i do believe others here do exceptional work and with the internet they too can have access to people willing to purchase their work.
their is a lady on ebay that has made a reputation on ebay selling quilt tops for 200-350 and they are the size of a throw.
it just takes time to build up a name and a business. the first few might sell for less than you like but after you have a reputation the price goes up.
