She holds a MA in fine art from Bergen Academy of Art and Design, KHIB (-89) and a BA in history of art from the University of Bergen, UiB (-96). Until July -13 she worked as professor at KHIB, Dept of Fine Art. Since the early -90's she has participated in a great numbers of solo- and group exhibitions and performance festivals both in Norway and internationally. Important tools of expression are printmaking, drawings, photo, artist books, video and performance. 
Her Images often problematizes perception. Inner and outer horizons characterize our thoughts and actions. Describing our surroundings, the horizon line denotes the meeting between sky and sea. But we also realize that this is only reality from our own point of view, an illusion from a distance. (Right : from the series Horizon, photobased intaglio and monoprint 56 x 75 cm, produced in 2012)
Rita Marhaug’s approach to performance is through the basic tools of the body. The everyday language of bodily behaviour and the concrete body's dimensions are the source of inspiration for her work and actions.
