Hello! My name is Natalie Barth, and I am passionate about both art history and medicine. As I have started to study more art over the years, I have seen how different cultures represent similar ideas and emotions. Through analyzing art, one can learn how to read people's body language and faces. I have loved medicine ever since I was young, and knew that I wanted to make an imapact on my future patients. When I learned about the blend of art and medicine, I knew that was what I wanted my future practice to include. Not only does art bring patients comfort in stressful, sterile environments, but studying art leads to greater levels of empathy and understanding within the shifting social, cultural, and economic world that patients live in.
