Saint Patrick’s Day Gifts

Celebrating the Emerald Isle!

Kathryn looking out over Strangford Lough

With St Patrick’s Day rapidly approaching, we’ve curated a collection of Kathryn’s artwork celebrating the magical island of Ireland in its entirety from top to tail, and everywhere in between! What better way to commemorate Ireland than with a gift that really brings the feeling home?

Our studio is tucked away in a leafy little spot near the shores of Strangford Lough in picturesque County Down. Surrounded by farms, nature and wildlife, and situated in a historical old schoolhouse, it would be hard to ask for a spot better suited for truly homegrown Irish inspiration…

Right on our doorstep...

Let’s kick off this tour of Irish artwork right on our doorstep! Step into County Down with four brand new landscapes, inspired by scenery right on the doorstep of our studio.

A close up of a painting by Kathryn Callaghan named Set Sail, Strangford Lough. It features small white sailboats on Strangford Lough, overlooked by The Mourne Mountains.

Scrabo From The Lough features the historic tower rising from rolling green Newtownards hills; a view seen all along the coast road on the way to Kathryn’s Ballydrain studio. Take the scenic route around Killynether Wood near Scrabo, and you’ll be treated the view in our next print…

Across The Drumlins looks out on the rolling pastoral landscape of farmlands and smallholdings, rolling out across County Down toward our next stop…

The Mournes At Sunset captures this stunning ancient landscape at its most beautiful, wrapped in the orange and purples of a magical Irish sunset. And of course, from the crest of these giants you’ll have a view over most of Northern Ireland, including boats bobbing on Strangford Lough…

And Set Sail, Strangford Lough  features just that: a series of white sailboats gliding serenely through the bright blue waters, watched over by that protective golden shadow of The Mournes in the distance!

If these local landscapes have made your heart sing, be sure to check out the originals too!

Homegrown in The North

Two prints by Kathryn Callaghan photographed in frames on small easels outdoors. The prints are Belfast Docks, which features a view of the yellow Harland & Wolff cranes in Belfast, in a two part white and black frame, and Newcastle Co. Down, which features a view of the Mourne Mountains and Newcastle in a matching white frame.

Step into County Down with this pair of landscapes, whether you crave the inner city buzz or the pastoral wilds.

Belfast Docks features the iconic golden Harland & Wolff cranes, Samson and Goliath, reflecting in the electric blues of the bustling shipyard, with a view as far as Cave Hill in the background.

Newcastle, Co. Down takes on a slower ease of life, inviting you to gaze out over the sweeping sands of Dundrum Bay, with the popular holiday town tucked neatly at the foot of the Mourne Mountains in a nest of greens and blues.

Both of these prints are available now as Open Edition prints with personalisations, making them the perfect gift for any wee homebird who may be living abroad and missing a taste of home! And if you’ve really fallen in love with these pieces, check out the originals, now featured in the Eakin Gallery on the Lisburn Road. 

Iconic Dublin

Dublin City is beloved the world over as a hub of arts, entertainment, and industry – a true centre of culture, with must-see locations ranging from the medieval Dublin Castle to the iconic Guinness Storehouse! Kathryn has immortalised some of Dublin’s top spots before in Grafton StreetDublin Doors, and Trinity College

Now, two of its most photographed spots are added to the map: the romantic Ha’penny Bridge that spans the Liffey, and the quintessential Temple Bar on the south bank!

These originals sold almost straight away, but prints are always available – and if Dublin is where your heart is, Kathryn is currently taking commissions for more local landscapes!

The Wild Atlantic Way

Play Video about A print by Kathryn Callaghan titled 'Cliffs of Moher', featuring the eponymous cliffs on the left of the image and the bright blue Atlantic sea on the right.

Ireland’s stunning, sprawling West Coast! From the most northerly point of Donegal at Malin Head all the way to the Old Head of Kinsale in Cork, with everything from Spanish Armada wrecks to Ireland’s largest Gaeltacht along the way, this breathtaking route of 2500km is the longest uninterrupted coastal tour in the world.

Inspiration comes easily from both the wild natural landscapes and the human history along the way. That rich creativity blossoms in Kathryn’s Atlantic-inspired print series, featuring the dramatic Cliffs of Moher, the mesmerising limestone whorls of The Burren, and the hidden gem of Bunratty Castle

What more can we possibly say? It’s time to let the artwork do the talking – check out our video showing off the glimmering surface of the original paintings, and the prints below.

Celebrate with a sip!

Two bottles of Mourne Dew Distillery Irish Poitín photographed against a mirrored surface reflection a cloudy blue sky. The surface is littered with hazelnuts and wheat, and the label bears Kathryn Callaghan's Púca painting.

The once-in-a-lifetime stories, the buzzing culture, the miles and miles of unparalleled views – after all that, you’ll need a little something to round out the evening!

Enter Essence of the Mournes, Jameson Irish Whiskey, and the mischievous Púca…

Jameson Irish Whiskey

For years, we’ve had requests for a Jameson print to sit alongside Bushmills Irish Whiskey, and this rich green marvel surely doesn’t disappoint!

Jameson is the best-selling whiskey in the world, and for good reason; now, with Kathryn’s newest print, you can keep that legendary Irish taste close to hand at all times. This print is resplendent in verdant greens and golds, topped off with that famous cherry-red seal and embossed ‘1780’ – the year the legend began…

We think this print would be perfectly at home in any home bar, topped only by adding a set of our Whiskey, Gin and Pint coasters! Or if you just can’t decide, why not get yourself a couple of matching prints with our Good Times Bundle – now featuring Jameson!

Essence of the Mournes

This one’s special – the sprawling landscape of the Mourne Mountains captured in honey-gold and fresh green, created in an exclusive collaboration with Mourne Dew Distillery for their award winning gin, vodka, and whiskey ranges!

Whether you’re within sight of the mystical Mountains of Mourne or further from home, this stunning print will always transport you right back to that incredible view. The windy peaks above, the wide open sea below…and plenty of little bars in-between where you can grab a glass of whatever takes your fancy!

The Púca-Pooka

And now, we’ll round up our Irish trip the way all the best evenings end: with a legend…

Lurking in the shadows on your long, tipsy walk home, you might encounter a devilish little shadow. Some say the Púca is a bringer of good fortune, and some say bad, but one thing’s for sure – it has mischief on its mind! These mysterious folkloric creatures can bring gifts just as much as they can bring trouble – what better to grace the label of Mourne Dew’s Poitín?

Just like Essence of the Mournes, the Púca is available now to liven up any corner of your home – just keep an eye on him when the lights are out!

The full journey…

We may be small, but there’s lots to explore here on the Emerald Isle, and we’ve got plenty to show along the way. While the prints you’ve seen so far celebrate what’s new, we have plenty more quintessentially Irish art to share, so have a browse and choose your favourite:
