Hello,

Firstly let me say the flash is very well done at your site! I really
liked it.

We researchers are a seperate entity of Google. The answer I am
providing is based on facts found at the Google FAQ's web page, but we
can not guarantee a listing within the Google index. We can however
point you in the right direction, and increase your odds of getting
indexed :

Google Faq's
://www.google.com/webmasters/

Most importantly on the above page, is the valuable information you
need to help get your site listed. One of the first problems to note,
is that there are no other sites in the Google index, linking to your
site :

Google FAQ - Getting listed
"The ONLY way a site is included in our index is if our crawlers are
able to find it by jumping from link to link on the Web. If we have
not found your pages, it is because we have not encountered any links
on the web pointing to your site..."
://www.google.com/webmasters/1.html#B2

The way to check if another site is linking to yours is to type the
following into the Google search box:

link:www.Alexandracabri.com
://www.google.com/search?q=link%3Awww.Alexandracabri.com (example)


The quick way to remedy this, is to offer some link exchanges with
highly relevant sites in your category. Here are some similar 5 star
answers I gave to clients, with roughly the same questions :

Inclusion in the next reindex
https://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=101210

Increase my page rank and get listed higher in Yahoo
https://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=90678

If you read them in their entire form, you will see the tools you will
need to build a web link exchange, and how to get listed as early as
the next index. Since your business is based in Califorinia, I
recommend swapping links with websites in the following category at
the Open Directory Project:

Visual Art Galleries in the United States
http://dmoz.org/Arts/Visual_Arts/Galleries/North_America/United_States/

Simply choose a state, and visit some of the sites. Some are bound to
have a linking section where you can add your site.


You should read the portions of the answer links above, about adding
more text to your sites. Google does not index Flash sites at this
time, and relies mostly on the text at your site. Since your site is
mostly Flash, there is very little to index. When the Google crawler
finds your site, it notes that there is little text to accurately list
your site, and may not list it, even with a few links pointing into
your site.


I will need to make reference to another researchers findings, for
another website owner had similar problems with regards to a Flash
website:

WebAdept (my colleague) analysis of a Flash site
https://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=112039


As you can see, there is very little textual content on the site in
question. I think you will find your site to be easily listed once you
start correcting these very minor issues, as it is a high quality
site.

To help find this answer I used the Google URL submission FAQ's :
://www.google.com/webmasters/1.html


I hope this answers your question. Should you need more clarification
or resources, please ask before rating, as I would love to offer more
assistance.

Thanks for the great question - and good luck!

I meant to put this in the answer as well.

To find more sites that may swap links with you try this search on Google :

art links
://www.google.com/search?q=art+links


Thanks again -
