In 2003, I held a beautiful exhibition of my etchings and paintings in the church hall of the Deutsche Evangelische Kirche Rotterdam, of which I was a member.

Having previously produced some small-scale print work for the congregation, I was involved in the creation of the anniversary book, 150 Years of the Deutsche Evangelische Kirche in Rotterdam, in 2012 and curated the accompanying exhibition.

The Mayor of Rotterdam and the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany were present at the opening.

From 1999, I was a member of the Russian-Ukrainian Song and Dance Ensemble Kalinka, where I sang in the choir.

In 2004, the ensemble celebrated its 35th anniversary and therefore decided to publish a commemorative book recounting not only Kalinka's life but also her extraordinary history, which began 20 years earlier in German labor camps during World War II.

I was involved in creating the commemorative book, logo, and poster, as well as the anniversary exhibition, "Born from Homesickness," at the Laurenskerk in Rotterdam.

When I was a member of the rowing club, I improved the doors of the boathouse and simultaneously devised a system of nameplates for the boats so that the boat always arrived at the correct door when it was carried back into the boathouse.
