The artwork for the 20th Day of Advent is created by Natalie Webb - Loft35art (Artists/instagram.com/nataliewebbartist)

Harmony and Unity. Acrylic paint on wood. This painting depicts joyful children singing and dancing in circle representing the everlasting circle of life, harmony and unity.

Natalie is a multi- disciplinary artist. Her artwork spans painting, wearable art, sculpture and performance. Natalie is ambidextrous and paints with two hands simultaneously.
She strives to capture the spontaneity of pace and movement, using the fewest lines to capture the essence of a subject. The space between the lines is as important as the paint marks themselves. This can be seen as strangely at odds with the way she looks, and the wearable art she creates. Natalie is a true maximalist when it comes to what she wears. She is obsessed by colour, print, and texture and she likes to wear them all at once.

This image shows a print for the 19th Day of Advent created by Roopa Bas

Becoming Light and joy
This piece will be an intimate evolution of the butterfly installation, focusing on 2-3 butterflies and their messages. Roopa has experimented with tracing paper, handwritten messages forming part of the wings, and touches of gold-embellished paper to capture the warmth and radiance of the season. A small caterpillar appears symbolising growth, transformation, and the quiet beginnings of joy. Through these materials and forms, Wings of Joy will explore the gentle unfolding of Christmas Joy as something nurtured, shared, and ever evolving.

Roopa Basu is a multi-award-winning London-based artist, designer, and entrepreneur. Her multidisciplinary practice spans painting, mixed media, and creative health.
Raised and having worked across three continents, her work explores themes of light, memory, and belonging, often using layered materials to capture fleeting moments and the beauty of transience. In 2011, she founded Roopadesigns, her graphic design studio, bringing a strong sense of visual storytelling to her fine art, community work, and creative health practice. Roopa leads participatory projects, murals, and installations rooted in her ethos to “think globally, act locally.” Her work amplifies underrepresented voices and uses art to build bridges between people and cultures.

This image shows a print for the 17th Day of Advent created by Adama Conteh www.adamaconteh.com

Here, We Meet
This abstract composition explores Christmas joy as a celebration of connection. The layered, intersecting colours act as a woven landscape of relationships mirroring the energy and brightness that come from gathering with family and friends. Each colour recalls someone important, creating a joyful visual tapestry rooted in shared moments and warmth around the festive season.

Adama is a textile artist, facilitator and instigator. She uses materials as a tool to ask questions while exploring how her practice can offer herself and others a space to heal by letting the materials become the mediator and bring communities together. Both the physical and digital realms are important in her workflow as she prioritises the process of making where she is playful and experimental with her approach to yield unexpected outcomes. Working in both the physical and digital spaces offers a different experience and tools to create work which allows the work to take on a life of its own and creates a reference point to cycle both worlds into each other. Adama has a background in fine art and design, graduating from MA Textiles at The Royal College of Art and Painting and Printmaking at The Glasgow School of Art. She navigates the space between fine artist and designer where focusing on the ‘why’ and having a voice through her work has become the driving force for making.

These are images of the artwork for the 14th Day of Advent created by Wilhelmina Bunn

Strawberry Field Jar
Made in celebration of the strawberry harvest that, growing up, was an important part of local life. Coil built, slip-incised & slip-trailed, glazed, terracotta.
Wilhelmina Bunn is an artist-ceramicist working in South London, shaped as much by the rural life of the Vale of Evesham - where she grew up - as by four decades of life as a Londoner. She studied sculpture and ceramics at Camberwell School of Art and the Royal College of Art. As an artist she is drawn to the accidental and un-designed. Nature grows and develops in patterns, but always with variation – she works in the same way. There is a plan and direction but she lets the work do what it wants, and accept and partially-contain flaws, collapsing, running, or dripping.
