You certainly bring your own individual personality to your music!

Your music entered my heart.
Slava Tsukerman, film producer, director

Your music is wonderful!
I have no words. Inventive, talented, mischievous, in a good way crazy, fantastic. 
At the same time, it is deep (within the given genres) and, of course, highly professional.

Reviews of literary works

Your play "Merry nonsense or vinaigrette for young and old"
full of life and sparkling humor! Me and my family loved it!
Volodymyr Onishchenko, Film director, Ukraine 2021

The history of the Turtles, one might say, is a model of the world and a philosophical understanding of our life.
Another play "Merry nonsense or vinaigrette for young and old” is very witty.
Vadim Panchenko.
Director, playwright
2020 Ukraine
And I am sure that your clever and thoughtful play about the Turtle will find the same smart and subtle director and audience..
Marie Aisin, theater director USA
I just read your story about the Turtle. What can I say! She is now my favorite! Wonderful, good story!
Volodymyr Onishchenko. Film director, screenwriter, Dovzhenko Film Studio, Ukraine
Last night I read your fairy tale "I love you Cats". From the first lines of the adventure of the cat Horatio, I was captured. The adventure and magic in this tale speak of important values. For me, this is very valuable in modern dramaturgy! In general, I read it in one breath! You write great!
Svetlana Willemsoo, director, Germany 2021
Dear Irena! Your play "Kharms and Cats" excited me. You managed to tell about the time, about the tragedy of a wonderful writer and person. Thank you! And all the best to you! 
Willy Noble, playwright, Germany
