He has had numerous one-man exhibitions including the Museum of the Northern Plains, Montana; Belson-Brown and River Run Galleries, Idaho; Carl Gorman Museum, California; Institute of American Indian Arts, New Mexico and La Paza Graphics, California.

Malotte utilizes watercolor and airbrush acrylics, graphics, pencil, pen and ink, wash, pastel, colored pencil and mechanical pencil. He states that his drawings reflect his feelings about the "Indian connection with the earth and sky spiritually, physically and politically".
