Summer Star Wildlife Sanctuary Presents:
“Wild Nature: The Source of All Life and the Cradle for Its Survival”
January 25th – July 25th 2020
“The silence is so clear I can hear my own heart beating. The stars are so bright and thick that I can travel with only their light. The shadows cast by a full moon pull my curiosity. Wildlife seems surprised to encounter me out in their winter world, and I wish to reassure them that all I want is an understanding of their lives, not a disruption of their own journey.”
– Tom Murphy
The Art Show Opening Reception for Wildlife Nature Photographer Tom Murphy from Yellowstone National Park will be on Saturday, January 25th, 2020 and on Sunday, January 26th, 2020 starting at 2pm at Summer Star Wildlife Sanctuary in Boylston, Massachusetts.

You and your team thought of every last detail to make the event so special. Tom and your speakers from Yellowstone did a marvelous job presenting the compelling stories about the natural wonders of the park.

You have done it again, this time with an expanded program linking the new art exhibit and an educational program on Yellowstone at Summer Star and a visit by Yellowstone to Robinson Middle School. It was also nice to see Thad King and Dan Sargent. Congratulations!” —Barbara
“Joe and I enjoyed very much the reception and program on Sunday at Summer Star. We found Tom Murphy’s work to be superb. No wonder you are so praising of him and his artistry! It was also interesting to hear about Yellowstone National Park and to see pictures of the landscape and other highlights of the park. Thank you very much for the invitation to a special afternoon.” —Helen
“My son, Alex, and I attended the reception on Saturday. It was wonderful! Thank you so much for your hospitality. Everything was perfect. I have added Yellowstone to my to-do list! Thank you again.” Anne Julian
“Dear Shalin, thank you for another wonderful event at Summer Star Trailhead House. We enjoyed viewing Tom Murphy’s stunning photos. The presentations by Tom and the Yellowstone rangers were interesting and informative.And the drinks and refreshments were absolutely delicious! Thank you for your hospitality and kindness.” —Warmly, Dmetro and Dotty Kormeluk
Walking around inside and observing both the incredible architecture and Tom’s amazing photography was a real treat. The food was delicious and the folks we met were kind and interesting.
I especially enjoyed catching up with an old friend, the person who you originally worked with to make this dream project a reality. And how could I forget spending a brief few moments enjoying a beer with you both outside on an unseasonably temperate January afternoon.
All three presentations were spectacular. The speakers were a wealth of knowledge and the images they shared were awe inspiring. I was blown away by the beauty of both Beth’s slide show and the accompanying narrative. They perfectly captured the aura of Yellowstone- something not easily achieved with words and photos.
Thank you very much for inviting us to take part in this beautiful day. You and your team did an incredible job and I feel fortunate to have been there.
I also wanted to thank you for your visit on last Thursday. The students were so happy to see you again and to relive their wonderful experience. They truly love spending time with you.
Thank you for everything.”
