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.
