Just because you are a young artist doesn't mean that you aren't trying to make a name for yourself in this market. I don't think that your age should be the determinate factor in carving your place in the world. Galleries should be looking at all kinds of artists that are willing to take that cut in their prices, but not too self-deprecating, to make it in this economy. Take artist Malenda Trick (www.malendatrick.com). She is an older, established, self-taught career artist who is still carving her place in this world. She may not be as contemporary and abstract as other artists these days, but she is definitely recreating her self over and over again and taking her piece of the pie.
