In 1934, at the age of 20, Hulbert moved to London. She later became a model, secretary and student with the Euston Road School of artists, which was founded in 1937, and became friends with Victor Pasmore, William Coldstream, and Claude Rogers.[1] Following the Second World War, she moved to the Holland Park neighborhood of London and began to teach art at the Camden School for Girls.[1] She later would teach at the Central School of Art and Design, where she remained until her retirement.[1] In 1958 she had a solo exhibition at the Leicester Galleries in London.[2] In 1962 Hulbert had a mid-career retrospective, entitled Thelma Hulbert: paintings and drawings, 1937-1962, at the Whitechapel Gallery, which was organized by Bryan Robertson.[2]
In 1984 Hulbert moved to Honiton where she lived and painted at Elmfield House.[1] After a battle with pulmonary fibrosis, Hulbert died on 17 February 1995 in Honiton.[2]
