History
Pamela Crawford (née Seeman) was born in Brisbane in 1921. She was a painter and stage designer. The 1940s in Brisbane were marked by a surge in artistic exploration, and Pamela Crawford was involved with two central aspects of this, the literary journal Barjai and the Miya Studio. In 1949 the Miya Studio merged with the New Theatre Club to become the Artists' Group of the New Theatre Club. Pamela Crawford continued to exhibit, worked as a stage designer, and with her husband Jim Crawford was an active participant in left-wing sponsored cultural and political activities. In 1988, Pamela Crawford donated a large number of artworks from the Miya Studio to the University of Queensland Art Museum. As an artist, Pamela Crawford was known as Pamela Seeman.
