In addition to her work as a writer, Teresa Präauer also works as a visual artist. Her literary and pictorial works are closely related. For both areas, she develops "actually two very similar ways of thinking".[3] In her first published work, she combined drawings with poetic short texts.[6] In 2010 she illustrated the picture book The Contrary Goose by Wolf Haas.[7] The birds, flying and crashing are also addressed in For the Ruler from Overseas:Roman. The book tells the story of two children who spend the summer with their grandfather.
