As a husband-wife team, Marney and Anthony Makridakis live in the constant energy of collaboration, launching a variety of successful enterprises centered around the arts. Anthony graduated Yale University in 1993 and worked as a highly regarded test prep tutor in New York City. Marney graduated Duke University in 1992 with a BA in Drama, and went on to direct innovative arts-in-education programs in New York, including for The American Place Theatre and Westchester Philharmonic. In 2000, they launched Artella Land, a ground-breaking online creativity network that was one of the very first virtual social communities.

Marney is the author of two bestselling non-fiction books about creativity, published by New World Library: Creating Time: Reinvent the Clock and Reclaim Your Life, and Hop Skip Jump: 75 Ways to Playfully Manifest a Meaningful Life. They live in Denton, TX, where they homeschool their 13-year old son, their brilliant assistant in the songwriting process.
