About Us

THE EWE GALLERY & SCULPTURE GARDEN is set by a beautiful waterfall, in a lush forest.
Turning off the N71 you enter a different world.
The Ewe is a unique combination of nature and art, an artist's open home and Ireland's only sculpture garden. Such creative havens can be found in only a few places in Europe.
For ten years Sheena Wood and her writer husband, Kurt, ran the successful Ewe Art Centre on the Mizen peninsula. The Glengarriff gallery & sculpture garden is a continuation of that work.

The indoor and outdoor art works are by Sheena, a prolific artist with an impressive range of work from paintings to textiles, mixed media, mosaics, ceramics and sculpture.
Giant Rhubarb plants (Gunnera manicata) edge the driveway and lend it an almost prehistoric feel. One of Ireland's oldest strawberry trees (Arbutus unedo), huge cedar, exotic pines and colourful Rhododendron and Hydrangeas shade the entrance.

The sound of trickling water accompanies you, as you cross the bridge into the garden.
The waterfall cascades down beside Falling Water Lodge, a timber clad house, designed and built by the artist.
