Dr. Harriet Lerner Biography

Harriet Lerner was born in Brooklyn New York on November 30 1944. She is the second of two daughters of Rose and Archie Goldhor. Her parents were first-generation Americans both born to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents. They were high school graduates who held jobs they did for paychecks but avocations that brought them great joy.
Archie worked for the New York State Employment Agency for more than thirty years but his real love was his shop in the basement of their house. He could build anything says Lerner. He made all of our furniture along with toys lamps and jigsaw puzzles. He loved rosewood classical music The New York Times and peace and quiet. He had a peace-at-any-price philosophy which I did not abide by.
Lerner's mother Rose worked in an office but her passion was art. When she was in her late fifties she started working for artists she admired; in exchange she asked for artwork thus creating an art gallery in her home. Rose who died recently at the age of 94 left her daughters a wonderful collection of paintings and sculpture and more important an enduring love of art and beauty.
Lerner's sister Susan five years her senior is a biologist and researcher in Cambridge Massachusetts. The two sisters have collaborated in writing award-wining children's books; their first is called What's So Terrible About Swallowing an Apple Seed (HarperCollins). Their latest book Franny B. Kranny There's A Bird in Your Hair! (HarperCollins)
