Schubert attended the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC. Some of her correspondence with an earlier schoolmate, Bertha Ballou, is documented in an online history of Ballou.^[3] Schubert's letter from October 30, 1924, notes that her commercial artwork included department store advertising, Christmas cards, and book covers.

In 1917, Schubert married Karl Rathvon,^[4] with whom she had a son, Norman, born in Washington, DC in 1920.^[5] Schubert and Rathvon divorced in 1923.^[6] Her later published works are often attributed to Marie Schubert Frobisher.
