Artblend has established a new paradigm in the industry. We have examined and redefined much of the traditional criteria, understanding, and necessities of operating a successful art business. Artblend is a full service, art-related business offering gallery exhibitions, marketing, publishing, and magazine profile opportunities to emerging, mid-career, and established artists from around the world.

Elaine and Michael met over 25 years ago and have been together ever since. They were highly successful during the 1980s with individual careers in the music industry. Elaine established herself with one of the top-ranking national record store companies doing store management, promotion, marketing, and buying. Michael owned a stage lighting and production company, artist management, and tour management company working with local, regional, and national talent. 

In the late 1990s, with the coming of the digital age, the music industry was rapidly changing and with that, it was time to make an "exit, stage left."  Michael settled in Fort Lauderdale and pursued his passion for fine art photography. Elaine soon thereafter teamed with him as his quintessential business manager. 

In 2005, they opened Artists Haven Gallery to exhibit and market his fine art photography as well as the work of other artists. Over the next eight years they expanded their business, opening Ocean Wave Media, Ocean Wave Gallery, and Artblend magazine. 

Today, they have merged their companies as, Artblend. Since the opening of their doors, they continue to welcome the occasion to share with their community, build lasting associations, benefit charities, and to support the arts globally.
