Painting and interview by Tristen Shevey. a collaboration with UWM – Notable Neighbors*
Della Wells is a Milwaukee born, self-taught artist. She was brought to Riverwest by a friend who had a building available. Living and making art in Riverwest is valuable to Ms. Wells, and she is well known and respected in the area. Although she is a late blooming artist, she has created a successful career depicting African American woman realizing the potential of their hopes and dreams.

When you become an “elder” in your community, you begin to look around for those members of the next generation who share your values and who can take over some of the community efforts. Riverwest is lucky to be rich with enthusiastic young people who are socially progressive, understand the importance of community service, and bring talent and energy to Milwaukee.
