Her use of mixed media, which included fabric, found objects, and wire mesh, added depth and texture to her pieces, making them stand out from other contemporary works. Throughout her career, Drexler exhibited her works in numerous galleries and museums across the United States, including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Her pieces were also included in several group exhibitions, such as the 1962 Americans 1963 show at the Museum of Modern Art. Drexler's legacy as an artist and sculptor continues to be celebrated today. Her works can be found in several public collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Her unique style and use of mixed media have inspired countless artists and continue to captivate audiences around the world.
