Lynne Drexler (1928-1999) was an abstract painter active in New York City, New York and Maine.
Drexler studied at Hunter College under Robert Motherwell and Hans Hofmann in the late 1950s and developed an interest in Abstract Expressionism. In 1961 she met painter John Hultberg and the two were married in 1962 and traveled together in Mexico, the West Coast, and Hawaii before living at New York's Chelsea Hotel in the late 1960s.
The couple bought a summer house off the coast of Maine on Monhegan Island in 1971, and by 1983 Drexler lived there year-round. The island's people and landscape were the subject of many of her works as Drexler's painting began to combine abstract and representational influences.
