Inari Kiuru is a Finnish-born multidisciplinary artist and designer. She migrated to Perth in 1995 and settled in Naarm in 2007 to establish a contemporary art practice. Prior to that she worked as a graphic designer, art director and lecturer in Australia and overseas. Kiuru is known for her innovative and poetic use of non-precious industrial materials, and for her installations and photographs examining the natural world and highlighting the surprising details of discarded objects.

Kiuru has Honours degrees in Visual Communication (Curtin 2002) and Fine Art (Object Design, RMIT 2013). Her jewellery pieces, photographs and small sculptures have been included in major surveys such as Melbourne Now (NGV Australia 2023); Concrete: Art Design Architecture (JamFactory, Adelaide 2019-21) and Made/Worn: Australian Contemporary Jewellery (Australian Design Centre 2020-2023), and her New Spring, Old Gods neckpieces were selected into the prestigious Schmuck held in Munich, July 2022. Alongside many private collections, Kiuru’s jewellery has been acquired by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, the Art Gallery of Western Australia, The WE McMillan Collection at RMIT Melbourne and Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery.
