Born in the Bronx in 1926, ROSALYN DREXLER first began exhibiting her work during the late 1950s. Since then, she has had over 15 solo exhibitions.

In addition to her work as a visual artist, Drexler is also an accomplished novelist and playwright. She published her first play in 1963 and her first novel in 1965. She is the recipient of three Obie Awards, as well as an Emmy Award for her work on Lily Tomlin’s television special Lily (co-written with Richard Pryor).
