I am Amanda Illerbrun, wife of Kerry Illerbrun, and one half of Kastawayz Art! \u00a0I am 45 years old, been married to Kerry for 26 years and am proud mother to our three sons, Wyatt (23), James (21) and Joshua (19).<\/p>\n
I am the official blogger for our Kastawayz News Page on our website and I have to say that blogging is a lot of fun! \u00a0Kastawayz Art was created by Kerry and I nearly 20 years ago. \u00a0Whilst there is no doubt that the artistic style, essence and creation of our art is undertaken by Kerry, my role encapsulates every other area of what it takes to make a living from your art. \u00a0I seek out our materials in scrap yards and thrift stores, organise stock\/orders for galleries and outlets, do all paperwork and taxes, show\/festival applications, complete the finishing on our pieces, communicate with everybody, tend to all social media, collaborate ideas and I can cut and weld (plus I work another job 4 days a week) 😳.<\/p>\n
The best description I have ever heard as to what role I play in our business and in life was when I was having this conversation with my youngest son Joshua and he said ‘Mumma, you are like the glue that holds everything together, without you we’d all fall apart’ – bless his heart 💜 \u00a0thats it in a nutshell!!<\/p>\n
