21st century issues are entrenched in the chaos of our times, but they cannot be untangled there. My artwork and its exhibition are designed to create the rarified
space of clarity & focus that is necessary to solution.
Elizabeth McClancy
Down the long lane of the history yet to be written America knows that this world of ours, ever growing smaller, must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.
Now, as a nation, we don't promise equal outcomes, but we were founded on the idea everybody should have an equal opportunity to succeed. No matter who you are, what you look like, where you come from, you can make it. That's an essential promise of America. Where you start should not determine where you end up.
There’s been. a pattern of bad behavior in terms of how people are treated unfairly in our country.. Let’s take this moment to be an inflection point, a pivotal one, that we are going to not just proceed incrementally but in a very strong way to do things differently.
How can we love our country and not love our countrymen; and loving them, reach out a hand when they fall, heal them when they're sick, and provide opportunity to make them self-sufficient so they will be equal in fact and not just in theory?
If we intend to provide a better life, and a better world, for future generations, we can't ignore the quality of the environment we leave them.
We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.
Democracy relies on free speech. Yes, say anything you want, but it relies even more on the speech being truthful. It is the truth, after all, that sets us free.
I believe in evolution. But I also believe, when I hike the Grand Canyon and see it at sunset, that the hand of God is there also.
I remember George W. Bush, who spoke about bringing the country together. Here's a man who knew that he lost the popular vote but ended up with the Electoral College vote. He had lost that, and he spoke in a very inclusive way of bringing Republicans and Democrats together. It reflected what a president should do.
We are a country where people of all backgrounds, all nations of origin, all languages, all religions, all races, can make a home. America was built by immigrants.

Until 18 years ago, Elizabeth McClancy designed and implemented international and domestic social- and educational-change initiatives.
In November of 2005, she painted her first-ever painting. Her husband, who had been at the center of the NY art world for 30 years, immediately saw that something profound was going on. "No [way]! Do it again."
By the third canvas (M. Albright), she knew her art would form the centerpiece of critical social change initiatives. Her work has had major exhibitions in Chicago and Washington, DC.
McClancy is the author of An Orchestra of Voices (Praeger Press, 2002, nominee for the National Press Club International Press Freedom Award) and Democratic Principles: Portraits & Essays (with Foreword by John F. Kerry, 2008). She is presently completing a memoir and a book on leadership. She currently lives most of the year in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Her current art & text, social-change project is The US Principles Initiative, which is being discussed as a nationwide centerpiece for America`s upcoming 250th anniversary in 2026.
Another series, Look. At. Me., concerns the faces of people with disabilities.
She has begun her next series which depicts the faces and principles of indigenous Americans.
