Whenever you create a new work, you can easily add a digital image of it to the site. By adding a shopping cart to your site, you can sell your works yourself without having to use a middle man.
If creating your own website is too complicated for you, you could start it by using photo sharing or stock photo sites as gallery to your art works, such as flickr.com, dreamstime.com, iStockPhoto.com, etc. If you provide your art work in digital format, you could sell them as stock photos as well.
