Art and Poetry
Torres's close personal connection to the space program bleeds into her personal life, including her hobbies like art and poetry. Torres is an avid photographer and the Candy Torres Collection includes thousands of photos from Torres's career, personal life, and portfolios, most undigitized.
Torres's work has been entered in art exhibitions at the University of Houston Clear Lake, the Houston Poetry Fest, and elsewhere in the Greater Houston Area. Torres continues to be involved in space exploration through contributions to the Hundred Year Starship project, her personal blog at technorican.wordpress.com, and public speaking on astrophysics, spaceflight, and 3D printing.
