My work was chosen for an art gallery.

I set up a simple page to display some of my favs.

Please let me know which ones you like, which I should display.

Also, how should I display my art? How much do I charge for each framed piece?

I factor in the cost of printing, framing, gallery fees, etc... into the final cost which is your break even or base cost. You should keep in mind the archival properties also. I would not charge the same price for a print that would last only 5 years as the one that would last 100 years. Then depending on the size and the local market conditions, multiply that by your markup value. Mine is lower for framed 8x10's and go up as the size of the framed print gets larger and larger since they are harder to matt and frame. My markup also covers my time taking the photo, editing it etc...

As far as displaying, keep it simple. Black frames are simplistic yet work with pretty much any type of print. I also use barnwood, maple and oak on some pieces. Just remember that the matt and frame is what will make or break your presentation.
