Serengeti Animal Mural, 12′ x 5′, 1999
Children’s Waiting Area, Pediatric Wing
South Shore Medical Center, Norwell, MA
by Charles C. Clear and Bonnie Lee Turner
Serengeti is a detailed animal mural that was painted for the South Shore Medical Center in Norwell, Massachusetts. The mural was custom designed to look like a large picture window, through which you could see the plains of the Serengeti come alive with friendly wild animals. Artificial plants were added along the bottom to enhance the illusion, and also to protect the mural from the tiny hands of budding artists.
The Serengeti mural was created in The Art of Life studio on heavyweight canvas and then installed on site by professional paper hangers. When a mural is painted on canvas and then attached to the wall like wallpaper, this is a technique known as marouflaging. Maouflaging murals is a great option for very busy Hospital and Health Care environments. With installation taking only an hour or two, a remarkably detailed mural can appear in the blink of an eye – and will be virtually indistinguishable from a mural painted right on the wall!
