About this episode

Mark Rivard discusses his artistic journey and the work of Charcoal Golf.

Charcoal Golf is a fine-art brand that creates hand-drawn illustrations of golf courses and iconic holes. Using charcoal and mixed media, the company captures the character and emotion of the game through limited-edition prints and custom artwork, often partnering with clubs for exclusive pieces and member offerings. On this episode of The Wednesday Match Play Podcast, brought to you by Eden Mill St Andrews, Mark introduces us to Charcoal Golf and shares the hinge moment when he realized he wanted to pursue art as a career. We talk about doing rad things, his work with Prairie Dunes, and collaborating with golf course photographers from around the world. He also shares where he sources his supplies, discusses STAGE Culinary, details his connection to Sharpie, and reflects on what inspires and motivates him. This was an artistic conversation, and it was an honor having Mark on the show. Let's tee off.
