ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Here, we feature a project and an artist behind it. Discover the inspiration, creative techniques, and personal stories that brought Mission Hospital North Tower to life.
PROJECT: Mission Health Hospital North Tower
LOCATION: Asheville, NC
SCALE: 600,000 square feet. 659 pieces of art work featuring 150 across local and regional artists. One of the state’s largest collections of commissioned art.
DESCRIPTION: The art program was designed to provide healing, comfort, and a connection to Western North Carolina's culture and landscape for patients and visitors. Every piece was created by an artist from one of the 18 counties that Mission Health services. Every piece was selected to bring interest and a sense of calmness to those who see it.
ARTIST: Joshua Adams
Joshua primarily works with wood sculpture, but his portfolio also includes bronze sculpture, stone carvings, paintings, photography, molding, 3D printing, pottery, and videography. He is a proud member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee and an alumnus of Western Carolina University. Additionally, he is a member of the esteemed Qualla Arts and Crafts Cooperative.
Joshua is a descendant of Cherokee woodcarvers, dating back to James “Red” and Irma Bradley. He studied under renowned artist Dr. James Bud Smith and was directly influenced by legendary artists Amanda Crowe and John Julius Wilnoty.
