the New Bedford Whaling Museum
(Part of Massachusetts Art Week. Wednesday May 6, 2020)
Artist Alison Wells and Whaling Museum Curator of Social History Akeia de Barros Gomes discuss Alison’s artistic journey; as an artist, art educator, and gallery owner.
Alison explains how she weaves references to New Bedford's rich layers of history, heritage, arts, culture, and industries into her vibrant, large-scale paintings, and combines these influences with her Caribbean culture and sensibilities to convey the essence of the city she loves.
This FREE virtual talk was presented as part of Massachusetts Art Week.

“Unusual Growth Patterns”
Recent Mixed Media Paintings by:
Alison Wells
Curated by Jamie Uretsky
New Bedford Art Museum/ArtWorks!
June 1 – August 19, 2018
Statement from: Curator, Jamie Uretsky
“Providing space and opportunities for storytellers to communicate the human experience through visual art is a crucial part of my curatorial practice. Selecting local artists from the vast pool of New Bedford talent is the most challenging part of the job.
That being said, showcasing Alison Wells' bright, multilayered, and robust artworks was an obvious choice. Wells has been a working artist in New Bedford for over a decade; she has made work about the city's abolitionist and architectural history. Wells is also an active member of the local art community operating out of her downtown gallery.
This summer she will be unveiling a new body of work that touches on the female experience as well as her Trinidadian roots. Wells is not an artist who is still searching for her voice, rather her powerful marks and hardy use of color exude profound confidence, and it's our privilege to have her first solo museum exhibition at New Bedford Art Museum/ArtWorks!”
Jamie Uretsky, Curator
