SUMMARY:Kristyn Watterworth & Ed Platero
DESCRIPTION:Digital Painting with VR \n\nI am a painter who works to bring a little more brightness into each passing day. I’ve been painting diligently from the age of 12 and obtained my BFA from York University. I love traveling as it allows me to gather inspiration for my paintings. I have taught hundreds of students in my former studio in Bayfield which gave me thousands of ideas about how to do things differently.  With all of the different challenges students brought to paint\, there was constant new learning and discoveries that were made.  That is why I love mixing up styles\, genres and subject matter.  There are so many ways to make things come alive and i love to explore so many of them.   Currently I am trying to focus on my animals\, abstract series\, and a bit of Virtual Reality thrown in. \n\n\n\nMy largest collection was developed for the educational tech firm Desire 2 Learn and includes over 100 large scale artworks. I’m always interested in new art adventures. I have painted a Volkswagen Beetle on the NYC rooftop of the Arlo hotel\, done giant murals in Brooklyn\, London and Waterloo\, and I painted a 3D World for a music video for Avant-Folk Group Mappe Of. \n\n\n\n\n\nSee my newest works and see what I’m up to on my Instagram \n\nVirtual Reality \nShow Floor – Admission with a regular show pass Experience the Future with Our VR Demonstration. Step into the extraordinary with our immersive VR demonstration! This hands-on experience transports you into a virtual world where you can see\, hear\, and interact as if you were really there. Whether you’re using an art program or exploring breathtaking landscapes\, this cutting-edge demonstration brings the virtual to life. \nNot only a demonstration\, it’s interactive – Put on one of the headsets\, and let your senses take over as you experience the power of VR firsthand. Watch on screen what the people wearing the headsets are seeing. This is more than just a demo—it’s a glimpse into the future of art\, entertainment\, training\, and innovation.

SUMMARY:Francis Martin
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nTattoo Demo on Mother’s Day \nAt Paint Ontario\, I will demonstrate the tattooing process using practice skin.  The process is exactly the same as tattooing on a real person\, the same machines\, techniques and attention to detail\, but instead of human skin\, I will work on a latex practice skin.  As I work\, the tattoo needle leaves marks in the material\, allowing the design to gradually take shape. Visitors will be able to watch the process step by step and see how a tattoo is built from the first lines to the finished image.  This demonstration offers a close look at the craftsmanship\, precision and artistry behind tattooing. I will answer questions and talk about the process as I work. I have been tattooing professionally for seven years and enjoy sharing the art and techique with others
