Andi Ashworth

A native Californian, Andi Ashworth has lived in Nashville, Tennessee with her family since 1989. Andi is a writer (author of Real Love for Real Life: The Art and Work of Caring), gardener, cook, a lover of good books, and has recently finished her Master of Arts in Theological Studies.

Andi partners with her musical husband, Charlie Peacock, in the non-profit work of Art House America, a 501c3 (arthouseamerica.com). The Art House America mission is to contribute to the making of artists and artful people who become highly imaginative and creative culture makers, who continue to mature spiritually, love well, and make known the kingdom of God. Andi and Charlie’s home, the Art House, a one-hundred-year-old, renovated country church provides the setting for their work, which includes owning and operating a recording studio, and running award-winning music/film production and publishing companies.

Andi is the key architect of the nurturing environment so characteristic of the Art House and its hospitality. The Ashworths have two grown children, and two grandchildren, who have named them Honey and Papa.

Writing to Remember

As the years went by and my journalling continued, the days were noticed and remembered. Instead of fading with the passage of time, they were preserved. They had meaning.

I don’t want the brightness to slowly leak out of me because I settled for the dulling effects of a life without play.

Q&A with Andi Ashworth, “Art House America”

My husband and I live in a special place, a renovated, country church in Nashville, Tennessee that was built in 1912. Our home is called the Art House and it includes a recording studio and offices. Since moving in many years ago, we’ve worked to make this place a home for our family, but also a gathering place for other people—mainly artists, musicians, and songwriters who need nurture in some way.
