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.

In her second novel Johnny und Jean, an artist's novel for which, as with all her books, she designed the cover.[8] Präauer as 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 the artists in his imagination, such as Salvador Dalí and Marcel Duchamp.[9][8]
