This inspiration for this neoclassical figure was the story of Princess Amelia for whom Amelia Island is named. One of her works of charity was the founding of orphanages. Since the figure is an allegory of the island, a juvenile blue heron is in her arms to symbolize Amelia's work for the orphans. After firing a pearl strand crown was added to the figure.

In this photo, Tracy was experimenting with various elements of pearls and shells that would be added to the sculpture after firing. The sculpture would also be affixed to the plinth and finished in the same patina.
