Pamela Mary Crawford (née Seeman, 1921–1997) was an Australian artist and stage designer married to the English-born Australian dramatist, James Crawford.〔Healy, Connie, ''Crawford, James (Jim) (1908–1973)'', National Centre of Biography at Australian National University, n.d. Web, 2012. 29 March 2012 http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/crawford-james-jim-12867〕 Crawford was involved in the radical art and literary movements of Brisbane's 1940s. She was a member of the Barjai group which published the radical youth art magazine ''Barjai''. This magazine was edited by Barrett Reid and Laurence Collinson and published between 1943 and 1947.〔Watson, Joanne. 'Brisbane's Little Chelsea': the cultural legacy of the Barjai and Miya groups. Overland, no.174, Autumn 2004: 58–62.〕 ''Barjai'' magazine described itself as 'a meeting place for youth'. Crawford was also involved in the establishment of the Miya Studio.〔The University of Queensland. The Miya Studio Archive. UQ Art Museum at University of Queensland, n.d.

In 1942, Crawford entered the Central Technical College in George Street, Brisbane, as a full-time student. She had been unable to do so earlier due to a family illness. Once she completed the introductory course, she began studying fashion as theatrical design was not offered. Crawford later transferred into Industrial Drawing under John Appleyard. Crawford was still attending some classes in 1945; however, she left college before she was awarded her diploma.〔Anderson, Michele Elizabeth.
