He was born in Fet, Akershus to the wholesaler Johan Lærum (1830–1906) and his wife Antonie Hansen (1839–1920). He married bookkeeper Antonie Hansen (1839–1920) on 17 August 1914.

He delivered illustrations to the satirical magazines Korsaren, Tyrihans and Vikingen, and also the newspaper Verdens Gang. Selected illustrations are issued in Fra Uret til Grand, Norske Politici (1895), and Skyggebilder (1912). His sculptures include statues or busts of Prime Ministers Johan Sverdrup, Jørgen Løvland and Gunnar Knudsen.[1]
