Resident receives art grant

Glendale resident Olga Seem has been awarded a grant of $16,000

from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation for her work as a painter and

mixed-media artist.

Seem, a part-time art faculty member at Los Angeles City College

who teaches oil painting, uses mainly plants as subjects for her

work.

Over the past 30 years, Seem’s work has been exhibited in numerous

venues, including the LIMN Gallery of San Fransisco, the Randall

Erickson Contemporary Art Gallery in Palm Springs and the William D.

Cannon Art Gallery in Carlsbad.

The Pollock-Krasner Foundation Inc. provides financial assistance

to artists of established ability through the generosity of the late

Lee Krasner, an abstract expressionist painter and the widow of famed

artist Jackson Pollock.
