Malcolm has exhibited work several times at the Royal Academy both as an artist and an architect with his recent work shown at the 2024 Venice Biennale. The late president Sir Hugh Casson, had described his landscape paintings as being of National Importance.

Born in a small mining village, in County Durham, he was encouraged  by his art teacher at the age of just 14 to paint and understand Turner and the importance of light as a pivotal role in Art History, reaching National status at just 22. He has been a columnist for a monthly periodical, a critic in architectural heritage and has acted as a judge for the BBC.

His work revolves around the traditional English Landscape and its changing weather; the true backbone of art history in Britain.

He qualified as a Chartered Architect in 1979 and was the director of a Private Architects Practice in Central London and more recently, Cumbria, having worked most of his professional life in Southern England and London. He was the Peoples Choice as Cumbrian Artist of the Year and now lives in Scotland, nearer to its great landscapes,…and weather.
