At just eight years old, Chloe knew she wanted to be a professional artist. Encouraged by her parents, she found solace and focus in the world of art—a peaceful refuge for her wandering, ADHD mind. Art became her anchor during chaotic times, a way to connect with others, and a means to express herself. These early experiences laid the foundation for a lifelong journey fueled by creativity and community.

As a high school senior, Chloe took a bold step by launching her own art business, inspired by her deep connection to her Creator. She wanted a name that reflected this divine gift, and thus, “Enable Art” was born. Rooted in the belief that her ability to create was a blessing, the name encapsulated her desire to empower others through art. The verse, “And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me…”

(1 Timothy 1:12), became a guiding light for her mission.

Chloe’s journey was not without its challenges. While pursuing a business degree to help dismiss the myth of the "starving artist," she balanced her studies with a successful photography business in Spokane. However, her heart yearned for more than just capturing moments; it craved the act of creating. Moving to Walla Walla marked a turning point for her career. As she settled into her new home, opportunities unfolded—she became an art teacher at Walla Walla Valley Academy, where she could share her passion for art with students.

Initially focused on her own artwork, Chloe quickly realized the joy of teaching others. She started small, going door-to-door to invite kids to her first summer art camp. Although her first art camp only had six students, the experience ignited a passion for teaching and growing her business that would shape her career. As her classes grew in popularity, adults began to seek out their own opportunities for creativity, prompting Chloe to expand her offerings. From painting to watercolor to needle felting, her studio became a vibrant hub of artistic exploration.

In 2021, as demand surged, Chloe hired her first assistant, Amber, whose contributions significantly improved the business operations. Together, they doubled class sizes, and the need for more inventory and a larger space became evident. Chloe quickly realized that the school classroom was no longer adequate for their expanding community.

After years of dreaming, praying, and envisioning her own studio, Chloe took a bold step in 2023. She approached the building she had long believed would be hers—a space she had prayed over with her family since 2018. To her joy, the timing was ideal; the current tenant’s lease was ending. In July 2023, with keys in hand, Chloe, her husband, and her in-laws began a three-month renovation of the outdated space. Working tirelessly, day and night, on weekends and holidays, they remodel the 2,000+ square foot studio. Every wall painted and nail hammered symbolized the love, dedication, and the incredible support of her family and community.

In October 1, 2023, Chloe opened the doors to her first studio, a culmination of her dreams, faith, and perseverance. Each day in this space fills her heart with joy as she witnesses others embrace their creativity in the environment she carefully crafted.

Enable Art is more than just a business; it represents a commitment to “creating community through creativity.” With six new teachers and studio assistants, Chloe’s vision is expanding, and she is poised to grow this little company into a multi-million dollar enterprise. The journey has transformed from scribbled notes on scrap paper to a thriving brick-and-mortar studio, where art, connection, and inspiration flourish.

As Chloe continues to share her love for art, she invites everyone to join her in this beautiful adventure. Together, they can discover the power of creativity, build lasting relationships, and help one another thrive in a community that celebrates artistic expression.
