Tom Everhart (b. 1952, Washington, D.C.) is the only fine artist personally educated and authorized by Charles M. Schulz to use imagery from Peanuts in fine art. A Yale-trained painter, Everhart transformed Schulz’s iconic line into large-scale, museum-exhibited works following a pivotal period in 1988, debuting his Peanuts-inspired paintings internationally, including at the Louvre.
For over three decades, Everhart has continued this singular collaboration, elevating Schulz’s beloved characters into bold, luminous compositions exhibited worldwide and held in prominent public and private collections.

Liss Gallery is privileged to represent Johnathan Ball, a Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist working in painting and photography, known for his distinctive neo-futuristic abstract expressionist style.
A recipient of the Ontario Arts Council’s Emerging Artist Award, Johnathan Ball has been working for more than 15 years to establish a style of painting that transforms the language of the street into a hybrid form of abstraction and urban realism. From the outset, JBall has sought to interpret his experience of cities that have served as crossroads in his life, from Toronto to New York to Miami the urban experience is a central theme in his work. Not always bound to one genre he also works from iconic images and film stills while purposefully engaging with the rich history of painting since the rise of abstraction in the 1950s. His work provides markers of time, engages the viewer with mood and line tracing the painting providing an artist lead tour of the work.
