She joined the Faculty of Fine Arts at Makerere University, an opportunity that enhanced her skills as a fledging professional artist. Several decades later on, her work is often characterized by shapes and impressions of animals in apparent motion. Her main inspiration is Africa's richly endowed wild game. Theresa continues to fulfil her commitment to artistic expression, even in old age by conducting numerous workshops and creating new work.
