Kateřina Černá was born on August 7, 1937 in Prague. She spent her childhood in a family house in Prague-Hodkovičky, where she lived with her parents and grandfather Ivan Dérer, a prominent First Republic politician. She witnessed his arrest by the Gestapo in 1944. She has been interested in fine arts since childhood. She studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Although she was considered a talented artist, she never made a living from her own work. She did not enter the competition for contracts that were distributed by the Fund of Fine Artists during socialism. Although she never directly expressed her disagreement with the communist regime, it bothered her and she did not want to cooperate with it. Therefore, she did not make full use of her talent and did not establish herself as an artist in socialist Czechoslovakia. In the early 1970s, she joined the school club as an educator. Then, until her retirement, she worked as a teacher of art education at the People‘s School of Art in Prague-Modřany. Her works are part of the collection of the National Gallery in Prague.
