Amanda
Richardson has been custom painting boots, belts, and other leather goods since
2008, her reputation has grown to the point that it has become a business.
Amanda launched HD
West in early 2013, specializing in custom painted boots and cuffs. Many of her
items are special order, but all are one of a kind.Working from a studio at her home
in Norco, California Amanda’s customers range from brides looking for a special
touch on their wedding day, the wives of rodeo cowboys, women who live out on
the ranch and lots of ladies that wish they did.“I love that there's such a variety especially when it comes to the custom
painted boots. Each customer brings their own ideas along with their
own style to each project, this keeps me on my toes and I really
enjoy turning my customer's ideas into a finished product” said Amanda. Amanda
didn't set out to create a company; she started out just making
jewelry, bags, and painting smaller items like signs. Eventually the orders
started to come pouring in and her hobby became more like a
business. In 2011 a local western shop came across her work and asked
if she'd paint a pair of boots. At that point she had never painted on leather
before so she did some research and took her time, the client was impressed,
and people started to take notice. Suddenly local customers were contacting
Amanda about getting their boots done, as people spread the word she decided
focus on expanding her brand. Now customers from all over the US and around the
world are shipping boots to have them painted by this amazing young artist.Amanda only accepts work by
appointment if you would like to talk to Amanda about getting your boots
