Could I manipulate gravity to make my spaceship move?

OK, let's suppose I have a structurally sound ship"”it could take a shaking"”and that space debris isn't a problem. I have access to a high level fusion reactor, which can, for all intents and purposes, output a near-unlimited amount of electrical energy.

The humans of my world have developed artificial gravity. Could they use this type of technology, combined with their massive energy source, to theoretically warp the space in front of their ship in an imitation of a large body of mass, basically creating a gravity well that consistently remains in front of the spaceship, "sucking" it forward?
