Having trained early as a ballet dancer, she studied at Scripps College and at the University of California, Los Angeles in the theater department.
Rubinstein began studying photography seriously in the late 1960s and worked as a photojournalist. She also created and exhibited her personal work and taught at the School of Visual Arts, New York and Manhattanville College, Purchase in the early 1970s. Rubinstein's work has been exhibited at the Dayton Art Institute, New Orleans Museum of Art, and countless galleries, and is included collection of the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College, Chicago.
