That's sweet of you to say and I'm happy if my words helped you in some small way. I know expressing your inner self can be difficult and leave you feeling enormously exposed and vulnerable so well done to you for overcoming that. In my case it isn't difficult at all as I have no illusions about my drawing ability and only do it to illustrate scenes of my specific personal preferences.
As to having a gallery I'm afraid that isn't your decision as they are solely in the gift of the moderators. If you look on the homepage of any designated artist you will see the post which informs them of their promotion. I think you need about 30 pics spread out over a year or more to qualify although you can always ask to be considered in the appropriate thread
