When Chloe was a senior in high school she decided she wanted to start her own art company and began to think on what to name her new business. She always felt like the process of making art brought her closer to her own Creator and that she was given her artistic gift by Him. So, she wanted to have a name that represented that feeling and idea. When she was looking up words that captured what she wanted to portray in the name of her young art company she came across the word “Enable”. She fell in love with this name and Enable Art was born. She then found a verse that went hand-in-hand with her new business name:

She knew she had found the perfect name for her business but didn’t realize she would grow into her new business name until later in life. Originally Chloe started her company just wanting to paint and sell her own artwork, feeling enabled by God to do what she loved. As the years went by, she found that she wasn’t satisfied with just creating her own art but wanted to share her passion for art with others. At 19 years old, Chloe began going door-to-door asking people if their kids wanted to attend an art class she was beginning. This would be the first summer art camp that Enable Art ever put on. It was in this original class that Chloe fell in love with the process of teaching and since that initial class God has continued to open the doors for her to continue sharing her passion for art with students, both young and old.

 A few years later, Chloe moved to Walla Walla, Washington where she was asked to be a contract teacher at a private high school. At this location she would be able to share her passion for teaching art to young people and would also be able to use her classroom for additional art classes.

Chloe originally started Enable Art because she felt like God had given her the “ability to” be creative and share her art with the world. Little did she know she would share that blessing with others and would help enable them in their own creative and artistic pursuits. This is why Enable Art’s motto is now “creating community through creativity”.
