I created "Temple Sparrow" from a trip I was invited to go on as an artist representative for Artists for Conservation to Quingdao, China. While participating in the art show, I also helped some local school children with their conservation project of building bird nest boxes. The nest boxes were to be put up in various locations around the art campus for European Tree Sparrows. The global population of Tree Sparrows, like most birds, have experienced a dramatic population decrease.
Our delegation visited many tourist and natural attractions while in China, including an old temple, where I saw this European Tree Sparrow perched under the eaves of the ornately decorated temple.
