Interview with Andrew. January 19th,

Andrew Downward gets around. He teaches fourth grade and he has I believe four young children who like to use crayons on his walls at home. But, Andrew loves paint. He started painting at age 16 – so he could ah, have his home to himself while his parents went on vacation. The paint stuck, – literally. After working his way through university he owned his own paint business for seven years. Then life caught up with him. He had kids. So Andrew became a teacher. He also started working for HGTV about that time and life got very hectic. So now he is doing Home and Garden show seminars and has already appeared this year at a few and will be at upcoming ones in Minneapolis, Des Moines, Miami and Orlando. Personally, I think he is just trying to escape the crayoned walls at home for awhile. Check out Andrew at his website
The Des Moines Home and Garden Show is February 10 through the 13th at the Iowa Events Center.
