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.
KOCUS ROSE

If you have ordered something, she is the one processing it. She goes through hundreds of orders each week and make sure each client has updated information, clients are put in the correct class and their credit and refunds are done. She makes sure you stay informed if something is canceled or moved. She does marketing, cleans the studio, helps with inventory, runs any errands we need, helps brainstorm about classes and so much more! She is a powerhouse!

There is no job to big or small for this amazing woman and she somehow can balances all the day to day work seamlessly. We are so blessed to have her and we all love working with her!
TAMI CONGLETON
FRONT DESK & Office manager
Tami Congleton has moved down from Battle Ground, Washington to Walla Walla, Washington to be closer to Chloe and Trevor while also helping out in the studio. Tami has worked at a high school for over 25+ years and loves working with kids. 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!
CLAIRE
AFTER SCHOOL ART ASSISTANT
Claire comes in every Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon to help out in our kids After School Art program.
When it comes to hiring someone to work with children, you want someone who is calm, caring, energetic, patient, and loving. She is all of those things and more. Although she just started working at Enable Art she has quickly fit in and found her place. She brings positive energy every time she enters the space and the kids connect with her quickly.
Claire is a multi-talented artist that is still in school working on her MSW program. She loves to read, working on any DIY project, loves the color pink and is inspired by being outside! Her heart is as beautiful as she is and we are blessed to have her in our studio working with us and with the young artists. She makes our children’s program even better than it already was!
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.
HADLEY
EVENING ART CLASS ASSISTANT
Hadley is our Evening Art Classes and Private Art Party Classroom assistant.
.
Working from 6-9pm is usually not the most ideal work hours but Hadley always comes into work with a positive attitude and a smile on her face! She helps around the studio by prepping the classroom, cleaning up after our classes and helping the clients with whatever they need. She also preps all the inventory and supplies so it is ready for the next class as well as making sure everything stays clean and organized.

Hadley is a very talented artist and enjoys a painting, drawing, crocheting, and ceramics but watercolor is her favorite medium right now. Her love for art has lead her to a lot of new opportunities like being an art instructor at a youth camp, traveling to Italy and now working at Enable Art!

We are so lucky to have such an incredible worker that is so professional, hard working and is so great to our clients! We love having her apart of the team! ❤️
