Charles Enard was born September 21, 1898 in Stockholm, Sweden. He later stated that he had the equivalent of a seventh grade education. Charles came to the U.S. in 1920, traveling on the Oscar II from Copenhagen, Denmark to New York City.

In 1932 Charles married Ester Lindholm in Manhattan, New York, and the couple made their home on East 67th Street in New York City. Charles continued to work as a painter.
