Artist. Educator. Cocoa Expert. Storyteller.
Dain James is a Grenadian professional artist, experienced Visual Arts educator and cocoa expert with a passion for sharing Grenada’s culture through art, storytelling and authentic local experiences.
His unique background is the inspiration behind Cocoa & Canvas — an experience that brings together the two worlds he knows best: Grenadian art and Grenadian cocoa.
Throughout his teaching career, Dain taught Visual Arts at several Grenadian schools. As a former Chocolate Museum presenter, he also shared Grenada’s cocoa and chocolate heritage with visitors from around the world. His experience as a sip-and-paint instructor allows him to guide participants of all skill levels through an enjoyable and approachable painting experience.
“Guests are not simply attending a painting class. They are experiencing Grenada through an artist who has spent years teaching its art and sharing its cocoa story.”
