College of San Mateo Theatre

Viva La Vida with Excerpts from P1N0CCH10 &amp; Carmilla features new works and a returning Oceánica Ballet autumn tradition. Act 1 premieres selections from two upcoming story ballets. P1N0CCH10, a retelling of Carlo Collodi's classic tale of Pinocchio, explores humanity, artificial intelligence, and our relationship with the natural world. Carmilla, an adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu's groundbreaking sapphic vampire novella, stages a mysterious masquerade ball.
Act II features the return of Viva La Vida, the original story of Lucio and Lupita in a joyful folklórico-infused tale about transcending loss and the resilience of love, inspired by Día de los Muertos. In this “celebration of life, loved ones and culture,” writes Jocelyn Tong of the Daily Californian, “mythic creatures from the land of the dead … [lead to] twirled scarves and snapped-open fans …in a story of homecoming.” Throughout all three stories, the wisdom of women across time and cultures is amplified.

Viewpoints Art Gallery

Show Dates: November 4-29, 2026Meet the Artist Days: Sunday, November 15 and November 22, 11am-5pm Viewpoints Gallery is delighted to ring in the holiday season with “Natural Wonders,” a dazzling collection of new works in gold leaf, acrylic and collage by Woodside artist, Amy Rattner. Amy has been painting wildlife for 20 years and her ability to capture the spirit and personality of her animal subjects shines through in each piece of her new collection. “Natural Wonders” features animals from California and around the globe that have held deep meaning for Amy, literally or symbolically, throughout her life. As a result, this vibrant collection touches on themes that are both global and personal, including motherhood, metamorphosis, change and conservation. Amy’s work juxtaposes gold leaf with beautiful handmade Japanese paper, simple compositions and masterful acrylic painting. Her distinctly elegant style elevates her wild subjects, highlighting each animal’s inherent beauty, grace and essential value to the artist and to the world at large. 
Amy’s unique design aesthetic took shape at an early age and continues to inspire her today. “My mom lived in Kyoto for a year in college and filled our childhood home with beautiful Japanese screens, artifacts and woodblock prints. I grew up adoring Japanese art and design, which honored elegance, simplicity and the concept of less is more," says Amy. She also draws inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement of the 1920s, which celebrated a return to handcrafted art, natural materials and simplicity in design. 
Amy works at home (with her two Bernese mountain dogs at her feet), and at her studio at Art Bias in San Carlos. After receiving a BA and MA in English from Stanford, she started her own graphic design firm, Kindred-Storey Designs until she rediscovered her love of fine art in 2006. Since then, Amy’s award-winning work has been juried into local, national, and international exhibitions and has appeared in magazines such as Mountain Home, Southwest Art, Palette Magazineand Art and Color 365. Her work has been featured in galleries throughout California, in Santa Fe, New Mexico and online at UGallery. She is a member of Allied Artists West (AAW), Art Bias, the Santa Clara Valley Watercolor Society, American Women Artists and the Association of Animal Artists. Amy’s work is currently available at Viewpoints Gallery in Los Altos.&nbsp; More information about Amy’s work can be found on her website, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amyrattnertart.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">www.amyrattnertart.com</a>, on Instagram @amysr, on Facebook <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/AmyRattnerArt" rel="nofollow noopener">www.facebook.com/AmyRattnerArt</a> and on the Viewpoints Gallery website, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.viewpointsgallery.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">www.viewpointsgallery.com</a>.
