My name is Malcolm Hopper. I was born in 1949 and live in Wakefield in West Yorkshire, England.
After having trained at Croydon College of Art in Stage Design, I then spent 6 years working mainly in London theatres as a stage hand, property maker and stage technician. I then travelled abroad and taught English in Italy for 2 years but always drew and painted in my spare time.
On returning to the UK I found work in the Post Office and have worked in various roles from field and staff management to Sub-Postmaster duties. For some years I worked part-time as a relief Sub-Postmaster and a semi-professional painter.
Then on retirement I painted full-time and cultivated vines for wine making on two allotments. My artwork is figurative landscapes, townscapes and trees in the environment using oils and watercolours and characters in local situations.
