(FGSB) launched in December 2004. We have shot documentary pieces, campaigns and editorial essays for magazines in the US and all over Latin America, as well as portraits for internationally known actors, Emmy Award winning directors, Broadway performers, Presidents, politicians and high profile business people.

In addition to shooting, for more than a decade, we produced workshops for Santa Fe and photography expeditions for National Geographic. Since then, we have run more than 100 workshops around the globe in exotic locations like Morocco and Mongolia, bustling cities like New York, Florence and Barcelona, the ancient temples of Angkor Wat, Cambodia and Bagan, Myanmar and chic islands like St. Lucia.

Liza's documentary and narrative full-length feature films have won a prestigious HUGO award, toured the festival circuits, and have been broadcast nationwide on PBS.

She produced “Impact On The Gulf,” a multimedia, action-oriented human rights festival that debuted in NYC for the world-renowned Culture Project and in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, her USO-style Gulf Coast tour, “Broadway on the Bayou” received national attention and was featured on MSNBC.

For more than a decade, Liza worked with National Geographic and their legendary photographers, producing expeditions and photography workshops in more than 50 countries around the world.

Statement Arts believes in the power of an integrated arts education to cultivate the next generation of leaders who can inspire social and cultural change. Our holistic approach supports young people and offers the space for them to find their voices and add their statements to the world.

Founded by Liza in 2003, Statement Arts is a NYC based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that uses the performing and visual arts to empower young people from historically under-represented and low-income communities. More than 900 kids have come through our programs which are all free.

The Oprah Magazine, Better Homes & Gardens, Golf Digest, and Good Housekeeping.
