History

Established in 2011.

The name «Frog on a limb» is a collaborative effort between husband and wife, Mike and Jessica Humphreys, both with an Appalachian heritage and love for primitives. Jessica has always been a fan of frogs, especially tree frogs — «They’ve got suckers,» she likes to say with marked enthusiasm. As an artist, Jessica has painted many different images of frogs, often tree frogs hanging or sitting on a branch. After struggling with a few different options, the couple finally agreed on «Frog on a limb» as a way of expressing their interest in frogs, the whimsical style of their primitive shop, and the fact that they are taking a chance, «out on a limb» as one might say, starting a business in this economic environment.

Business Owner

Owning my own primitive store in Colorado has long been my dream. Together with my husband Mike, we flexed our resources to make that dream come true.

I grew up with the crafts of my Mother, Grandmother, and other women in my family from West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, and Arkansas.

I have a degree from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I sketch, paint and create on, and with all types of materials, but I prefer to use discarded, recycled materials to create whimsical works of art to be worn or displayed.
