Background
Wells was born and raised in Alexandria, Louisiana. She attended high school in the 1960s and 1970s. After college, she moved to North Carolina to pursue her acting career and began studying Stanislavski's system of acting, and a depth approach that integrates spirituality and performance, with Maurine Holbert.
- "I live in an actor's body, in which the cultivation of sense memory, active listening, and the belief that the sublime can arise out of the most common character, word, or gesture is somewhat of a religion for me."
She made Seattle, Washington her home, and currently lives on Bainbridge Island. There she began to perform and develop plays at numerous Seattle theaters.
