ABOUT
Natalia Hubbert is a Houston, Texas-based Ukrainian-American Artist and Depth-Oriented Coach whose multifaceted professional path is rooted in both creative expression and profound personal exploration.
Born in rural southern Ukraine, Natalia's lifelong creative inclination began in early childhood. After school, she moved to Kyiv, where she earned two Master's degrees in political science and international economics. Despite exploring various fields, she ultimately returned to her artistic passion, working as an artist and art editor for several years in a Kyiv-based magazine. Upon relocating to the U.S., Natalia established herself as a freelance artist, initially creating illustrations for microstock platforms before working directly with a diverse range of clients, ranging from international corporations to specific projects.
Her move to the U.S. opened new professional opportunities, yet also brought a deep existential crisis marked by a growing sense of alienation and disconnection despite outward appearances. This prompted a critical, and rather early, "middle life crisis," necessitating personal explorations and work with a therapist. Upon taking a break from individual therapy, she dedicated several years to trying different modalities, group therapy, self-therapy, along with study of Hindu astrology, meditation, and diverse esoteric, mystical, and spiritual traditions. These years of inner exploration culminated in a transcendent realization that fundamentally reshaped Natalia’s perception of Self and Reality. Subsequently, she pursued formal study in psychology, particularly Psychodynamic and Jungian approaches, to gain specialized knowledge and deepen her understanding of the Psyche.These profound inner changes not only infused Natalia's art with a more transcendent viewpoint and deeper symbolic meaning, but also illuminated her understanding of the interconnectedness of psychology, spirituality, and esoterism. This synthesis forms the foundation of her work as a Depth Coach, where she supports individuals through deep crises and transformations, facilitating self-discovery, subconscious work, and a profound connection to the authentic Self.
Now, with nearly 20 years of experience in illustration, Natalia is renowned for her work in varied areas, including children's book illustrations, collages, food art, cartoons, and corporate identity design, executed through captivating blends of watercolor, digital graphics, and mixed mediums. As a Depth Coach, she has been successfully working with clients for over a year, continuously studying and deepening her expertise and skills.
In her time away from professional pursuits, Natalia loves the great outdoors, hiking and road trips across America with her beloved Scottish husband. She is a proud cat mother to 7 adopted rescue cats and a plant lady to over 40 houseplants.
