Caroline Igra grew up in Philadelphia and, after graduating from Brown University, collected a master’s degree at the University of Michigan and a doctorate in Art History from the Institute of Fine Art, NYU. After relocation to Israel, she continued to develop her academic career by teaching at both the University of Haifa and Hebrew University, curating exhibitions on the work of J.D. Kirszenbaum at the Museum of Art, Ein Harod and the Museum of the Jewish People, Tel Aviv, and publishing articles in scholarly art history journals. A few years ago, she decided to turn her attention to non-academic writing, starting off with a blog named “Stuck in the Middle” that captured her experience as an American living a life in Israel, and culminating in her first novel, Count to a Thousand.
