What is the consensus regarding examples of an artist's work in an article?

It's been suggested that I ask Dr. Laura Brodian, [[Kelly Freas]]'s 
widow, to release digital copies of some of his illustrations under the 
GFDL.

Kelly's article is currently rather short (I can't remain neutral about 
him), and the text would be overwhelmed if more than a handful of images 
were added.  Would a supplementary article -- [[Artwork of Kelly Freas]] 
-- be appropriate?

Most importantly, if I persuade Laura to give away some of her late 
husband's work, will her generosity be welcomed to Wikipedia, or will it 
be promptly nominated for deletion as non-encyclopedic 
Wikipedia-is-not-a-gallery Hugo-winning-art-cruft?
