Černė Percikovičiūtė was an artist who studied at Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas and at the Justinas Vienožinskis studio. During her career as an artist, she took part in eighteen exhibitions, including having her work accepted to Lithuanian Art Exhibition in Chicago in 1936. According to the art historian Violeta Krištopaitytė, feminist ideology was of great importance to Černė, who was an active member of the Lithuanian Women Artists’ Association. Today, there are only five extant works by the artist available to the public, which includes her hand-written autobiography, and pictures of eleven of her lost works. In 1941, Černė was interned in the Kovno Ghetto and is presumed to have been killed during one of the extermination operations in the ghetto.
