- The soft, mysterious tonality betrayed her love for poetry, because in addition to painting she has built up an impressive list of achievements as a word artist in poetry and prose.
- Teresa Van Marcke has punctuated herself in the last decade as a subtle watercolorist, who reveals her nature observations and emotions thanks to a remarkable technical maturity. In an almost lyrical way she brought nature to paper with a lightly abstracted brushstroke. Her themes usually included the mysterious winter world shrouded in mist or the enchantment of the sea and the mountain landscape.
- She had a strong predilection for children's and youth literature, and won the 1986 Knokke Prize for the best Flemish children's book with "De Eenhoorn".
- Her youth books "Stem uit Generzijs", "Vliegen Zonder Vleugels", "Benjamien en Angelica" became bestsellers in Flemish and Dutch youth literature.
- Van Marcke was a Flemish painter and writer.
