Catherine Bradford, Simply Mourne
Simply Mourne - formerly known as Mourne Pebble Design - was founded by County Down-based artist Catherine Bradford. The concept of capturing special moments and sentiments in pebble art evolved out of her passion for nature and her love of the natural beauty of the Mournes.
Catherine loves the simple things in life, incorporating the less-is-more ethos. And what encapsulates that more effectively than inspiring pebble art delivering inspiring messages or capturing those special life moments?
The Perfect Lifestyle?
If you spend a day in the company of Catherine Bradford from Simply Mourne you'd be forgiven for wondering if she might just have the perfect life.
It's easy to say that you're inspired by nature, but in Catherine's case it really is true. Whether it is collecting driftwood from the secret beach at Murlough or inhaling the natural scents of herbs and grasses in the Mournes, Catherine's inspiration is tangible.
To capture this in her work though is quite remarkable.
Whether it is the poignant moments seen in her pebble art or the instantly recognisable smells of the great outdoors in her candles, Simply Mourne's products will connect you to Catherine's inspiration immediately.

Catherine is so talented and did a custom made pebble picture of our family (including our dog) for my husband’s Christmas present. Thank you so much - we love it!
I must also say the picture frame and the packaging it comes in is of the upmost quality. Simply Mourne’s customer care really goes above and beyond.

I got 2 lovely family pebble frames made for two special mothers, I personally couldn’t get over the amazing work that went into them! Each parent loved them . I got them personalised with a wee cat and dog. Couldn’t recommend this lady more! Will be getting more in future

Have bought two pieces of art work recently from Kathryns online shop but have also discussed directly framing same and found both Kathryn and Angie very pleasant and professional to deal with. Kathryn has a unique gift that makes her paintings very special and identifiable. Looking forward to being able to visit her new Art Gallery Studio once Covid restrictions are lifted. Note: Just 'round the corner' from Castle Espie.

I have been a great admirer of Kathryn Callaghan’s work for many years and at times she has been able to provide me with ‘just the perfect special present’.
I love her new range of china mugs some of which I have recently purchased.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending
