As part of our 2025 Artist series, Kildare Village has collaborated with Irish Artist, Grainne Bath Enright.

Grainne is an artist and illustrator now based in Dublin. Having graduated from IADT with an Honours degree in Production Design for Stage and Screen, she began my career as a scenic painter and designer, working on large scale sets before gradually beginning her own work as a visual artist and illustrator.

Working from her studio or ‘au plein air’ (on location), she creates detailed drawings with a narrative quality. her work explores the history and connections we have to these places & their habitats. ​Using a fine tip pen, layer by layer, every line builds to reveal landscapes and urban environments, each with their own story to tell.

Kildare Village, in partnership with The Kildare Gallery, is delighted to launch Ireland’s largest outdoor sculpture garden.

The exquisite pieces presented throughout the village transform it into an outdoor gallery allowing visitors to view and purchase art from a unique perspective.

The Kildare Gallery, which specialises in fine art painting and sculpture, is operated by Ruth Liddle & Ken Folan and is Ireland’s leading supplier of outdoor sculpture and garden art. Over 30 pieces have been selected for the exhibition making it the largest outdoor sculpture in the country.

All pieces in the exhibition are available to purchase and appointments can be made with The Kildare Gallery for further information on each piece. A bespoke garden consultation service is also available allowing people to curate their own sculpture garden.
