In addition to her work as a writer, Teresa Präauer also worked as a visual artist. Her literary and artistic works are closely related. For both areas she is developing “actually two very similar ways of thinking”. In her first publication Pigeon Letters from Mute to Other Birds Chicks , she combines drawings with poetic short texts.

The book tells, among other things, of two children who spend the summer with their grandparents.

In her second novel, Johnny and Jean , an artist novel for which she designed the cover, as with all her books, the author leads the reader into the milieu of a contemporary art scene at an art academy, in which younger and old masters of art history are quoted and the artist Johnny even comes into conversation with some in his imagination, such as Salvador Dalí and Marcel Duchamp .
