Art by Marci Rule

Marci Rule grew up in the beautiful countryside of southern Wisconsin. She began her art career drawing and painting at an early age and although she received summer scholarships to area university programs and had encouragement and support from her teachers while in high school, she is primarily self-taught. Marci felt that a career in art was not practical so she studied business at the University of Wisconsin—Madison and the University of Minnesota—Minneapolis. She continued to draw and paint for friends and relatives and eventually followed her heart and pursued a career in painting.

In 1987, while living in Pinehurst, North Carolina, Marci was inspired by the beauty of the area which fed her desire to paint landscapes. After painting a few local scenes, Marci’s focus turned towards the area’s golf courses, thus beginning her art career as a golf landscape artist. She moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota a few years later and refined her skills and developed her sense of detail while painting portraits of numerous celebrities in the sports and entertainment industries—skill and detail obvious in her golf art today.

Over the years Marci has been commissioned by many individuals, organizations and charities. Eventually she would like to expand her art to include breathtaking views from different regions of the country.

“With each painting I want to capture the beauty of the scene and create a feeling that both inspires emotion and uncovers cherished memories in the viewer.”
