He was also a contemporary of Clay Spohn and David Park.
In the mid to late 1950s, Hultberg, along with his colleague and friend Norman Carton, worked at and regularly exhibited at the Martha Jackson Gallery.

By 1983, Drexler moved year-around and permanently near Lighthouse Hill on Monhegan Island, an artists' haven off the coast of Maine, where she had spent most summers since 1963.
