Artist Alison Wells is exhibiting five of her paintings at the 2010 World Exposition in Shanghai, China. This is the first World Exposition on the theme of the city, titled "Better City, Better Life." Two hundred countries, international organizations, and businesses are currently participating in this event.

Wells is one of five Trinidadian artists chosen to represent Trinidad and Tobago at the expo this year. Her paintings on display are from her series "The Urban Organic," depicting the urban landscape and its effects on the human psyche. The 2010 World Exposition in Shanghai, China, which began May 1, runs to Oct. 31.

Wells graduated from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth with an MFA in painting in 2007, after having earned her undergraduate degree in fine arts in 1997 from the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts in Jamaica.

She resides in New Bedford, and works as a full-time artist and part-time art instructor at Bristol Community College, Fall River; at ArtWorks! Partners for the Arts and Community, New Bedford; and the Brookline Art Center, Brookline. Her work can be seen at www.alisonwells.com, or visit her studio, Studio No. 1 at 96 William St., New Bedford.
