TEACHERS & THE TEAM
CHLOE CONGLETON
owner, ARTIST & TEACHER
Chloe has been running Enable Art for well over 13+ years and has loved every minute of it. Some days you will find her working in her classroom, prepping for a handful of different art classes, at home working on a commission, or brainstorming her next great and fun idea to share with her clients. No matter what she is doing she stays busy making sure no artistic rock is left unturned.
Right now, Chloe is staying busy teaching her summer art camps, evening art classes, private art parties, and teaching classes at Walla Walla Valley Academy. She plans on one day creating online art courses for artists of all ages. This way her art classes can become more readily available to people outside her immediate community.
Chloe also plans on opening up her own studio and gallery space in the Walla Walla Valley so she can continue teaching her art programs as well as helping other younger artists have a soft-landing space in the art world.
TREVOR CONGLETON
OWNER & MARKETING
Trevor and Chloe got married in 2015 in the Walla Walla Valley and they have been an unstoppable team ever since. When Chloe moved to Walla Walla she wasn’t sure she wanted to continue doing her business since she had lost all of the clients she had made in Spokane when she moved. But Trevor, being her biggest support, encouraged Chloe to keep doing what she loved to do while helping support her financially while she got Enable Art up and running in her new location. Trevor is a huge part of why Enable Art is even still going today! Even though Trevor has a wonderful, full time job of his own, you will still find him helping set up and take down at the evening paint nights. He routinely hauls anything and everything from the truck to the classroom, and most importantly, is someone Chloe can turn to with any odd job she might have.
Trevor brings a number of talents to Enable Art though his editing and proof reading which have become especially helpful in Enable Art’s marketing materials. Trevor would tell you, “I’m just the person that wipes the desks down and cleans the brushes,” but he does way more than he gives himself credit for and we love having his kind spirit a part of the Enable Art team.

Tami does not only work front desk at Enable Art Studio, but also helps with inventory, classes, day to day tasks that need to be done, as well as assisting both Chloe and Kocus. Tami also came over to the Walla Walla area for almost three month to help completely remodel the new art studio. We couldn’t have done it without Tami’s help. She is the Mother-in-Law of the year!
KELSEY
STUDIO ASSISTANT
Kelsey is an essential part of the Enable Art team, and we’re incredibly lucky to have her! She wears many hats around the studio—receptionist, classroom assistant, opener, cleaner, and go-to problem solver. If the studio looks spotless when you walk in, that’s thanks to Kelsey’s dedication and care—she’s the one who keeps everything looking beautiful and running smoothly behind the scenes.
Always one of the first to arrive, Kelsey opens the studio each day and ensures that everything is welcoming and ready for our artists. Her kindness, reliability, and calm energy help create the warm, creative atmosphere our community loves.

DOUG CONGLETON
FUNDRAISER & maintenance
Doug has helped and supported Enable Art from the moment he knew about it. He is a Jack-of-all-trades and knows how to fix just about anything. Most of his career was in fundraising for an orphanage over in Mexico and traveling to the orphanage to help the kids over there. He is extremely talented in many things and has a huge heart for other people.
With Tami, they came over and helped out for over 3 months with remodeling our new space. From demoing, patching holes, and spraying texture… to pressure washing and painting the outside of the building…. he was there through it all to help make our studio beautiful!
If he isn’t busy working around the studio, you can find him helping set up for classes at the studio. We are so lucky to have such a multitalented person making sure everything is running smoothly.
KIMBERLY
JEWELRY TEACHER
Kimberly is a multitalented educator and artist with over a decade of experience inspiring students of all ages. She is a native and has lived here in the Walla Walla Valley most her life. She has her own hobby farm and loves animals.

At Enable Art, Kimberly shares her passion for handcrafted jewelry, specializing in Viking knit and traditional wirework techniques. Her classes are both welcoming and skillful, blending her love for teaching and her artistic knowledge.
Kimberly has been a cherished part of our creative family for years. Kimberly and Chloe met in 2015 while teaching at Walla Walla Valley Academy and the two have been practically inseparable—so much so that people often mistake them for sisters!

KUYLER
TEACHER
Kuyler is an extraordinary educator with over 20 years of teaching experience. Many in our community know him from his time at Roger’s Adventist School, and now as a dynamic teacher at Pioneer Middle School.
A true creative at heart, Kuyler brings a unique artistic perspective to our team. While Chloe leans toward florals, landscapes, and still life, Kuyler thrives in the world of imagination—specializing in drawing monsters, designing characters, and building entire worlds through his art. His favorite mediums are ink and watercolor, but he excels in nearly every medium he touches.
We are beyond excited to have Kuyler leading our Youth Drawing & Colored Pencil Camp this July as part of our Youth Summer Art Camp series. His energy, creativity, and deep expertise in character design make his classes a must for any young artist who loves storytelling through art.
We’re also hoping to see more of Kuyler in the future through evening art classes and after-school art programs for kids and youth. Don't miss the chance to learn from one of the most inspiring teachers we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with!
LEAHA
Floral design TEACHER
Leaha Ziegler-Bako is the creative force behind Little Red House Crafts, a floral design studio she founded in 2022 in Beaverton, Oregon. What began as a personal DIY project for her own wedding quickly blossomed into a passion for crafting beautiful, everlasting floral arrangements using paper and sola wood flowers.
Now based in Richland, Washington, Leaha continues to grow her business online while she and her husband Scott search for their forever home. Her work is a joyful celebration of nature, craftsmanship, and creativity—with every arrangement uniquely handmade and thoughtfully designed.
With a background in education, Leaha brings a natural gift for teaching into her floral workshops and online content. She loves inspiring others to explore the art of floral design in a hands-on, welcoming way.
We’re thrilled to welcome Leaha to the Enable Art family as a guest instructor, where she’ll be sharing her love for paper florals through special classes and creative collaborations. Her artistry, warmth, and passion for lifelong learning make her a perfect fit for our community.
