Sean Began carving in 2000 with his friend Al, an accomplished carver, and has continued to hone and expand his craft over the past 25 years. Sean began by carving Common Loons but has since expanded to many other animals like Orcas, Humpback Whales, Platypus, Beavers and a Penguin. His preferred Medium is Local Western Red and Yellow Cedar wood. Sean is a Certified Financial Planner in real life and Wood carving provides a good creative balance in life.

As an artist I enjoy creating wonderful art with both Wood and a Camera lens.
Margaret Inoue
Cocoaro Craft Chocolate began in Wells, BC and was created by independent entrepreneur, Margaret Inoue. The small town and supportive local food and business community in the Cariboo helped to incubate and grow Cocoaro from an idea to a business. In 2018, Cocoaro moved to the lower mainland of BC as a result of family priorities.
We have found a welcome food community and hope to grow the success of the chocolate and continue to educate people on fine craft chocolate.
The business grew out of Margaret’s passion for food, flavour, social justice and, well, chocolate. It was the intersection where she felt she could make a difference through the business she developed. She is continually learning and working on her craft. The business and bars also reflect her Japanese heritage, including the gifting aspect of the culture. She hopes you not only enjoy them, but you also share them, which is why we make the bars beautiful on the outside and delicious on the inside.
