I would listen to ARTelevision, if anyone knows about trying to make a living off of ones art I would think he'd be the guy to ask.
On a side note, the girl I'm dating now is also an artist and trying to make a living at it. She's really having some trouble with it. I'm not sure where you live, but if she can exhibit some of her stuff in a local gallery that'd be a start. Maybe have some business cards printed too, and put together a portfolio of her work.
In addition check different summer festivals and events to see if they have tents set up to exhibit local artists works. Also, my gf has or has friends that have "donated" works to different charity fund-raising events. You don't make any money off of it, but you are building name recognition and can use it as an opportunity to do a little self promotion.
As far as a critique of her work; well, it looks good to me, but it looks unfinished. A couple pieces look really nice. I especially like the more abstract pieces with the different geometric shapes. Regardless of what happens, I wish her the best of luck. It's hard, but even if you're not making a living at it, it's still fun.
