Since 2012, she has been living with her family in the town of Oberwil in Switzerland. She has three children. Active and energetic, she has not broken ties with her homeland: almost every year she organizes the International summer art plein air in the picturesque Alpine village of Oberwil, at the Aegerter family estate. The project is supported by the village church community. Artists from Transcarpathia have also participated in it.
In this way, Olga presents her fellow Transcarpathians to the world. She actively follows the developments in Ukraine. Every time, she sends a share of the proceeds from the exhibitions and sales after plein airs in Oberwil to orphans and the families in Ukraine affected due to the Revolution of Dignity (2013 – 2014) and the fightings in the east of Ukraine since 2014.
