• Print sales: Etsy, Saatchi Art, or your own Shopify store. Price small prints (8x10) at $75-$150. Limited edition large prints (24x36) at $800-$2,500.

• NFTs (carefully): Some nature artists have found success with tokenized art, especially using proceeds for conservation. But approach with caution; the carbon footprint hypocrisy is real.
