Dilettante Programme

The tour was a truly exceptional experience – both culturally, socially and gastronomically. You gave us such superb talks and were unstinting in your energy and time to make the group have a wonderful few days – perfect.

CHARLIE WINTON

Studied Art History at Warwick University specialising in the Early Florentine Renaissance and Venetian Art and Architecture. She lived in Venice before working in Bologna where she taught for three years. As well as all her teaching for AHA, Charlie runs AHA's Dilettante & Family programmes.

NICK ROSS

Director of Art History Abroad. He has taught in Italy for over 22 years, published books on Canaletto, Miro and an artistic guide to Florence. In addition Nick has written numerous book reviews and presented an arts programme for the Discovery Channel. He is an active director whose love of Italy is infectious and he is driven to continually add to the cultural experience of the courses. In May he was voted the No.1 Guide in the Daily Telegraph Review.

GRANT ROGERS

Grant is an artist & has worked for AHA for a while now. He likes eating, cycling, dancing & discussing "Stuff" with the air of authority of somebody who really knows what he (or she) is talking about. He has managed to deceive the National Gallery, NPG & numerous other art galleries, publishers & film companies that he is quite clever & they have yet to find out how to get rid of him. Singularly un-ambitious he continues to confuse the Imperial War Museum education department & was recently appointed as a Fellow in Holocaust Education for Yad Vashem, Jerusalem.

STEVE NELSON

Studied at Cardiff and Birmingham where he received an MA in Fine Art. In 1999 he was appointed the Arts Council of England Helen Chadwick Fellow which enabled him to work on his sculpture in Rome and Oxford. He exhibits both in Britain and abroad while also teaching at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford, Tate Britain, Hayward Gallery and Whitechapel Art Gallery. Details of his current exhibition can be seen by visiting; http://www.manandeve.co.uk/exhib_current.php

ROSE BALSTON

Rose completed her MA in History of Art at Edinburgh University in 2006. After studying languages at Salamanca University she joined the AHA team over 3 years ago. She is unceasingly excited about all things Italian, be it the glorious Pantheon, mysterious Pontormo or bubbly prosecco. She is a keen pianist and singer; one of the many delights of being taught by Rose is to hear her demonstrate the acoustics in churches once noted for their choirs. Alongside her work in Italy Rose is the founder of Art History UK, where she leads cultural days and courses throughout London.

OLI ROSS

Currently the Vicar of St Olaves in the City of London and Chaplain to the Cloth Worker's Guild and Trinity House. Oliver's first degree was in African History and Anthropology, before studying Divinity at Cambridge. He is an authority on the Early Church, particularly in Rome, Ravenna and Istanbul.
