From engineer to artist: UNC Rex Healthcare employee adds 'muralist' to her resume
0UNC Rex Healthcare in Raleigh has added new artwork to brighten up a courtyard. It began with an employee challenge to submit ideas for a large outdoor mural -- and ended with a long-term employee painting the mural by hand.

When the hospital asked employees to submit ideas for an outdoor mural, Jauslyn Stewart, who has worked for the hospital for 17 years, submitted an idea – and won.
"I told them I’m willing to not just submit the idea, but I will actually paint it for you," she said.
The hospital had originally planned to hire an outside artist to do the work, but it turned out a talented artist was already working there. She started as a housekeeper, going to school for bio-medical engineering on the side. She transitioned to fixing computers and other equipment with UNC Rex Healthcare.
