Lilian Chauvel (1867 - 1953) was one of Australia's first internationally recognised female artists. She was a painter and fashion designer, and invented the art of "panchrocis" which is a delicate technique of painting on silks and satins.
She was the sister of Sir Henry (Harry) Chauvel (of the Light Horse regiment) and aunt of filmmaker Charles Chauvel. She donated funds to establish the Chauvel Gallery at Centenary Cottage Museum, Tenterfield. Lilian was the founder of the Women's Painters' Society and member of the Women's Industrial Arts Society.
