I appreciate the Etsy comments. I'm one of the few artists who doesn't have a web site. Social media is a powerful tool. I do have an Instagram account which is dedicated to my art work. It's been live for about a year it is commij28- and it's powerful because of the hashtag which increases exposure. I'm still learning how to use Instagram and am somewhat cautious because this can go anywhere.

Web sites sometimes serve as a common talking point in the art community
To me, a website serves more like a resume - in terms of:
Vetting: who /where have you studied with, education, art experience.
Credibility: awards, recognition: who/what/where has your work been recognized
Finally publications/blogs: I'm not there yet and I'm not sure this is for me.
