Najma is originally from Bangladesh. She came to Canada for graduate studies in 1975. She holds a doctorate degree in Economics from McMaster University in Hamilton , Ontario. In 1981 she moved to Halifax, and has been living in Bedford since 1986 with her husband and two girls. She is an associate professor of Economics at Saint Mary's University, Halifax.

Painting has been her hobby ever since she was very young, a hobby that she continues to pursue actively today as a pleasant diversion from her academic activities. She enjoys doing watercolors and pen & ink drawings, mainly involving the human form, but also loves doing still-life of flowers and occasional landscapes. Being from a conservative cultural background, a formal training in art was impossible for her in Bangladesh, but she has developed her own style over the years. She has been showing her work through several venues over the last five years.
