Default Site critique please

All right, I can't put this off any longer.

I've created this site, Original Canvas Art for a Unique Interior - by Carmel Maguire with the primary aim of showing a sample of the artists work online and providing contact details.

The intention is to build the site with related content to the point where it ranks well on organic search, which will allow us to scale back the current AdWords campaign. For example, if someone does a search for "decoarate a bedroom" then we'd rank well. Obviously, if someone searches for "canvas art" we'd need to be at the top too. The site is only in existence a few months, but I'm starting to see a trickle of organic searches sent our way.

I've tried to pay attention on on-page SEO. What could I do better?

Future plans for the site include the addition of more relevant content (the Tips section is there purely so that we can have the keywords on the site that we want to rank for) and we're toying with the idea of an online store for selling the artists work as well as prints and other design-related items.

Note, I am not a graphic designer or a web designer or a programmer.

A critique of the site design, usability, layout, SEO, etc would be gratefully received.

Thanks,
John

Resize and compress the images on the main page - they're huge and you're using img tags to resize the display instead of actually resizing the images
