Welcome
Hi. I'm Jessica Rose Ayers Light. That's Jessie, to my friends. Or call me Missy, the nickname that really stuck if you grew up with me in the mountains of Colorado. When I go back home I still hear the occasional "Hi, Missy!"
It takes me back to when I would draw caricatures of my brothers, who in retaliation would read my diary aloud to my friends. I can almost see my dachshund Petey posing for long portrait sessions, his blue blanket clamped in his long snout.
I am reminded of making mud cakes with candy red hots baked into their centers by the hot summer sun climbing slowly over the mountains. I dreamed of being an art teacher, candy-store owner and toy-maker. I made a nice profit selling my mud cakes to passersby.
I now live in a rambling brick house with a bright avacodo-green door in a rambling neighborhood in Colorado with a pack of kids, an adoring husband and a passel of pets.
I still enjoy drawing caricatures of all of them on Post-its and distributing them throughout the house and in their lunchbags.
I hope you enjoy the Orange Alligator Art website!
