Eva Najman was an illustrator, painter and printmaker, working in London from the 1940s.

Najman was born in Berlin in 1923.[1] Originally Polish, she arrived in England in 1938[1] and was naturalised British in 1946.[2] Her parents settled in Haifa.[2]

During World War II, she served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service.[2] Afterwards, she studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London.[2]

One of her early commissions was to illustrate the book jacket for John Moore's Brensham Village (1946).[2] She also illustrated Aphra Henzell's African Patchwork (1952), Penelope in Moscow (1953) by Penelope Sassoon.[3] and Teach Yourself English Costume Through the Ages (1966) by Joan Clarke.[4]

A 1947 portrait photograph of Walker, by John Gay, is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.[5] She was photographed by Gay for, and featured in, an article in The Strand Magazine, "Eight Young Artists in Search of an Editor",[6][2] in which she was said to be living in Kilburn.[2]
