Our Alums
Scotty Salame
The Flying Cloud summer program was the absolute highlight of every summer growing up, and was the exact environment I needed to foster my creative abilities. Today, I'm an Emmy-nominated productions designer, a working pet portrait artist, and owner of Scotty's Home & Design, a business that specializes in interiors and seasonal decor. I like exploring many facets of art and design, which was a gift that Flying Cloud gave me as a child that has stayed with me right up through today."

I am an artist based in Northern California, running an illustration business (Pen+Pine) out of my garden studio. I have a line of products (which are now available in over 200 stores throughout the world), take on commission projects, and paint murals. Flying Cloud was woven into my life when I was younger and heavily influenced the path that I chose. The interdisciplinary nature of Flying Cloud helped shape Pen+Pine - inspiring me to use art to explore and communicate the intricacies of our natural world. I work to capture the unique plants within my garden and the broader west coast through whimsical, fine line drawings. I also organize the annual Eureka Street Art Festival, bringing public art to walls throughout my coastal town. You can find me on social media (IG: @pen.and.pine) and see and shop my work on my website: www.penandpine.com
