Fair winds, Alison Wells! Your work showing Schooner Ernestina -Morrissey and New Bedford is outstanding! Best wishes!

In 2003, Alison Wells came to New Bedford from her native Trinidad to pursue her masters degree in fine arts at UMass Dartmouth. She planned to be here for three years, but she turned her degree into a gallery of her works that have been sold to art collectors around the world. She’s is now returning to Trinidad, having made a lasting impact on New Bedford’s art scene. We can’t thank you enough, Alison.
