I began making custom boots in late the 90’s. My training took me to shops in four states, but ended in southeastern Colorado where I had the good fortune to work with master bootmaker Edwin Martin. The patterns and methods I use have historical roots in the old Amarillo style, from which the Martin family tradition of bootmaking originated.
Designing and making custom cowboyboots integrates my college studies in anatomy, a theatre arts degree in costume design, nine years of work as a certified massage therapist and my desire to create functional, beautiful and enduring craft.
