Grace Helen Mowat (January 31, 1875 – February 22, 1964)[1] was a Canadian artist and writer living in New Brunswick.

There she developed an interest in narrative from reading old archived letters written by both sides of her family.

The Perfect Actor, and the Unguarded Boarder, were among exceedingly popular attractions in the summer, and garnered the attention of many visitors.

[2][4] The University of New Brunswick awarded Mowat an honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 1951.

She died in St. Andrews at the age of 89, and was buried under the headstone "Founder of Charlotte County Cottage Craft" in a rural family plot.
