Default Need help, product not selling

Hello, I am very open to critiques on my website. Is my optimization OK? Prices OK? Navigation OK? Copy OK? My product has not been selling that well, so I am trying to figure out why. The site is http://www.emeraldislestudios.com

It seems a lot of people have been doing this lately, but wheres the prices?

Also you have a lot of wasted space at the top of your pages, you can make the top header of the site smaller. People will be able to see more without scrolling.

Your navigation is hard on the eyes, try something more subtle.

also you have your site at a fixed width, you can change that to a % and use more of the screen.

You're selling Christian art work. Your entire site should be a reflection of that, not just the art your selling.

I agree with Phantom that the navigation buttons could be improved. I'd like them to be a bit taller so they're easier to hit.

I'm probably not in your target market. (My Presbyterian upbringing makes me sensitive to evangelism. I tune-out...) But I'm a huge fan of Maxfield Parrish and Alphonse Mucha and have bought art prints and books of their works. I could almost see myself buying your work. I think your pages about technique and composition are simply outstanding. Really, really, outstanding. I also like the Emeerald Isle reference to Ireland and Celtic heritage. (I'd like to have found more about that in your text. Instead I found myself reading about the sin of pre-marital sex.) You could probably sell art to people like me if you'd focus more on the art itself. Otherwise, you're only preaching to the converted.
