Everhart was educated by legendary Peanuts © creator Charles Schulz. Schulz encouraged Everhart to carry forward his creations to the fine art form – and to extraordinary results: Everhart’s Peanuts © related work went on to show in gallery and museum shows around the world, including the Louvre in Paris. Charles Schulz said of Tom and his work: “Tom makes me feel better about what I do than almost anyone else. Especially since I consider him so capable”.
Tom Everhart & Charles Schulz
“Schulz’s painterly pen stroke translated into painterly brush strokes and was now a language that overwhelmingly connected to Everhart’s own form of expression and communication.”

“Tom Everhart’s signature style is a lively and profound hybrid of pop and expressionist visual elements, infused with an art historical perspective and a cheeky sense of humor. As a contemporary of Warhol, Haring, Scharf and Basquiat during formative New York City years, Everhart’s work in that zeitgeist was nevertheless more than just bright and cartoonish. His closeness since 1980 with the late, legendary Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz not only garnered Everhart firsthand training to create and perpetual permission to use those characters in his own work, but it also sparked a lively conversation about how flatness, color, texture, and a uniform gestalt defines modern visual art. In fact, Everhart’s first major exhibition was at the Louvre in Paris in conjunction with a Schulz survey. Shana Nys Dambrot – LA WEEKLY
Tom Everhart (American b. 1952)
Tom Everhart was born on May 21, 1952, in Washington, D.C. He began his undergraduate studies at the Yale University of Art and Architecture in 1970. In 1972 he participated in an independent study program under Earl Hoffman at St. Mary’s College. He returned to the Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1974 where he completed his graduate work in 1976, followed by post-graduate studies at the Musee de l’Orangerie, in Paris. He taught Life Drawing and Painting, briefly from 1979 to 1980, at Antioch College.
In 1980, Tom Everhart was introduced to cartoonist Charles M. Schulz at Schulz’s studios in Santa Rosa, California. A few weeks prior to their meeting, Everhart, having absolutely no education in cartooning, found himself involved in a freelance project that required him to draw and present Peanuts renderings to Schulz’s studios. Preparing as he would the drawings and studies for his large-scale skeleton / nature related paintings; he blew up some of the cartoonist’s strips on a twenty-five-foot wall in his studio which eliminated the perimeter lines of the cartoon box, leaving only the marks of the cartoonist. Schulz’s painterly pen stroke, now larger than life, translated into painterly brush strokes and was now a language that overwhelmingly connected to Everhart’s own form of expression and communication. Completely impressed with Schulz’s line, he was able to reproduce the line art almost exactly, which in turn impressed Schulz at their meeting. It was directly at this time that Everhart confirmed his obsession with Schulz’s line art style and their ongoing relationship of friendship and education of his line construction.
A few years later, while still painting full-time on his previous body of work in his East Village studio, Everhart began drawing special projects for Schulz both in New York and Tokyo. These drawings included covers and interiors of magazines, art for the White House, and the majority of the Met Life campaign.
In January 1990 Everhart’s PEANUTS related work went on to show at the Louvre in Paris and subsequently in Los Angeles at the L.A. County Museum of Natural History. Montreal at the Museum of Fine Arts, Tokyo, Japan at the Suntory Museum of Art, Osaka, Rome, Venice, Milan, Minneapolis, Baltimore, New York, Houston, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and in Santa Rosa California at the Charles M. Schulz Museum.
In 2000, his first solo museum show was launched at the Suntory Museum of Art in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. The Exhibition traveled to five other locations in Japan until the year 2002.
CBS, in a Charles M. Schulz tribute, designed an entire sound stage, comprised solely of Everhart’s paintings, that were used with host Whoopi Goldberg, throughout the hour long special, in May of 2000. After Charles Schulz passed away in February of 2000 it left Everhart with a deep sense of loss as well as an even stronger desire to communicate the incredible influence bestowed on him by Schulz.
The Charles M. Schulz Museum opened in August 2002 and the following year November 14th 2003 Everhart had the honor of presenting his works in a solo exhibition titled Under The Influence. He would also be included in the Museum’s 2011, Pop’d From The Panel exhibition along with Warhol and Lichtenstein.
“Schulz’s painterly pen stroke translated into painterly brush strokes and was now a language that overwhelmingly connected to Everhart’s own form of expression and communication.”
For the next two years Everhart worked to produce two large bodies of works on paper, canvas, and wood. The first exhibition titled Cracking Up consisted of seventy-five artworks. The following exhibition Boom Shaka Laka Laka: The Lagoon Paintings was made up of three large scale paintings and one hundred fourteen works on paper ranging in sizes for 10” x 12” to 40” x 60”. Both bodies of work were shown at the Jack Gallery in Las Vegas.
In 2011 he exhibited 97 works, titled Crashing The Party a solo exhibition at the AFA Gallery in New York. Followed in 2013 with another solo exhibit with AFA Gallery titled Rolling With The Homies consisting of 55 works on paper and canvas.
NBC’s The Today Show presented a six-minute feature on Everhart’s work and career interviewed by Jamie Gangel and produced by Yael Federbush and Jamie Gangel.
In March of 2014, the first of two Met Life Global Technology Campus opened in Charlotte North Carolina and the following year in Raleigh. Met Life commissioned over 40 works from Tom Everhart to be photographically enlarged to cover their walls in a brilliant display thought out both campuses.
After living in San Francisco, Paris, New York, Washington D.C., Baltimore, and London, in 1997 Tom Everhart moved to Venice California. He and his wife Jennifer now split their time between California and French Polynesia.
