With the same fire and passion she brought to her remarkable career as a Spanish dancer, Theresita has begun a splendid new chapter in her life as an impressionist painter. Her wide-ranging list of subjects includes charming sun-drenched landscapes of Spanish and French countryside and villages, animals, seascapes, still lifes, and compelling interpretations of Spanish dancers. Her oil, watercolor, and pastel landscapes, still lifes, and portraits evoke comparisons to renowned Impressionist painter Childe Hassam. Her French landscapes are reminiscent of Vincent van Gogh.

'Dancing, like all forms of art, is a means of self-expression,' says Theresita. 'Now that my dancing days are over, I am fortunate to have found another means of artistic self-expression. As a dancer, I try to surprise and delight my audience. In my painting, I also do the unexpected. I do not know where the inspiration comes from, but somehow it works.'
