Siara Berry is a sculptor, writer, and arts administrator based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She studied sculpture and creative writing at the Kansas City Art Institute and, upon graduation, received the Windgate-Lamar Fellowship from the Center for Craft, Creativity and Design in Asheville, North Carolina. In 2023, she completed an eight-month residency at the Charles Allis Museum of Art in Milwaukee that culminated in a solo exhibition in the museum’s courtyard. Most recently, Berry was awarded a Mary Nohl Fellowship in the Emerging Artist category, as well as a Gener8tor x Sherman Phoenix fellowship. Her work has been exhibited at Woman Made Gallery, Chicago; Manifest Gallery, Cincinnati, Ohio; the Museum of Wisconsin Art, West Bend; and at numerous regional galleries. Berry currently serves as the Arts/Industry Residency Program Director at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center.

Berry's mutli-medium sculptures are influenced by neighborships, housing systems, and American domestic landscapes. Deeply influenced by her upbringing in the suburban Midwest, her work contends with cultural narratives about place and purpose, property and people. Using a combination of found object and traditional craft processes, Berry deploys a visual language that is equally quotidian and absurd.
