“The Over Looked Under Ground” By Elizadeth Hetherington
On September 20th at Charlie’s Banquet Hall in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin was an inspiring presentation
of some of the area’s finest artists. I was fortunate to be attending ‘The Over Looked Under
Ground’, a cleverly arranged display of art from pencil to chainmail! The event started at noon and
ran until nearly eight o’clock as a benefit to raise money for the survivors of abuse. The very first artist
to catch my eye was Ashley Cochran. Ashley has been making art most of her life. One
of the most obvious characteristics about art by Ashley Cochran is that the pieces themselves are made both in vibrant color
and rough surface. These are the pieces that will ‘pop out’ and let you see the mastery of
the focus point, while not overlooking the intricate and striking detail that Cochran include in every part of the painting.
Captain Leviticus Von Fangorstein XVI made a modest presentation of the abilities and limitless bounds of color, pencil
and even the madness of collage! I was unable to catch him for comment, but his art spoke in manners and
grateful gestures of an artist’s journey through time. Jessica Green made an excellent
hostess of his display while I admired the bulk of her variety. Jessica has been freshly introduced into
bleeding her passion into her art, but the results are incredible. Jessica Green has a lot of talent in
capturing the darkness, as well as the optimism in horrific imagery. She claims to be most practiced and
comfortably with the horror genre. Aside from the impressive pieces of her display, Jessica enlightened
art fanatics to a new addition to her art resume: jewelry. Her jewelry is a precise and flawless collection
of her beaded works, light catching and radiant, as well as affordable and fun to wear. |

JoAnna Miller had charisma from head to toe. Her art is wearable, and she specializes in jewelry
made from chainmail. She’s been making art for well over a decade. Initially she
had been adorned in the ways of pen, ink and charcoal. Introducing the chainmail into painted pieces is
a new concept to her, but completely remarkable! JoAnna was in a car accident nearly six years ago, and
the impact that it had on her chosen art allowed her to take a rest from the obsession, resulting in a fascinating renovation
to her patterns. However, it was refreshing to see that coming back allowed her to see new and original
ways of showing off this natural charisma through her art. It was hard to wait
when it came time to adore the works of local artist Erich Claude Polnow. Erich clearly has a kinship with
the horror genre as well. He specializes in portraying the stars and idols of terror in fiction and reality
in his brush strokes and colors. Some of Erich’s work can be seen online at www.myspace.com/erich_claude_polnow. His art fits in well with the kind of art I collect for my own home, and
I went home with a very pleasing piece from his collection: one Jason Voorhees. It started with
a series of marker drawings for local artist, Chris Antonelli. After he makes his initial masterpiece of
color, Chris layers on the acrylics and spends countless time making perfect the eventual bumps and delights of a colorful
result. In the art of Chris Antonelli you will see the brighter colors attempting to distract you from
the cryptic faces that hide within. More of his work is consistent and original, displaying the themes
and obedience of time and art. Nate Pecore has a special something I found in a lot of
the Over Looked Under Ground’s artists: raw natural ability. So often, it seems that artists are
compelled to follow a formula of sorts. Nate is doing something right! His paintings
were so eerily realistic and convincing with dark and manipulated lights. He enjoys making art depicting
his own friends in real life, but obviously enjoys exploring his ability in other specifications of the artistic kind.
Nate was a delightful artist to meet, and definitely one to be remembered. Something special about
Nate Pecore is that the brilliance of reality is his inspiration. His optimism and creativity truly come
out into everything he does. I look forward to seeing him at this event next year.

Aaron Comacho will be in magazines. Mark my words! Aaron, a beautiful woman as
well as young artist, has a deep seeded love of vibrant colors and has completely mastered the skills of shadows with acrylic
in the paintings she had displayed. Aaron is unique and inspiring, unconventional and sweetly shy.
Her favorite color is yellow, although she incorporates nearly every color of the rainbow in her magnificent creations.
Aaron, along with Erich Claude Polnow, Ashley Cochran and Maria Weeks, attends ‘Sketch Night’ in Oshkosh.
Finally, I spent a good deal of time studying the works of Maria “Ria” Weeks. Maria
is the first official artist of Deth Publications and is known as the cover artist for the horror novels of their making.
Ria also recently had a piece entitled “Abstract Sorrow” published in G.A.S.P. Magazine. Her
art speaks volumes about the brutal reality of the human animal. Her paintings range from the brightest
scenes to the darkest lonely human moments. She has taken the roots of what has inspired her and has sewn
it with use of oil, charcoal, acrylics and colors. In addition to her instinctive talent, Ria Weeks also
puts out a magazine entitled “The Tide.” Within the pages are some of the area’s writers
and artists and their contributions to the cause. It’s always refreshing to see artists helping other
artists.
At the end of the event, the artists worked together and complimented the efforts of each other. The
show is over, but we all hope that next year’s Over Looked Under Ground Art Show will be more fantastic than ever.
