My name is Paul Crask. I’m from England and I’ve been living in Dominica since 2005.

I’m the author of four editions of two Bradt Travel Guide titles (Dominica and Grenada), I’ve created and published several independent magazines (Dominica Traveller, Dominica Geographic, Gade Mwen), and I’ve written countless freelance travel and culture articles.

My ink and watercolour paintings depict offbeat island-inspired places, often imagined with surreal twists and a touch of humour. As an outsider looking in, I aspire to create paintings that feel rooted in Dominica while leaving room for imagination and personal interpretation.

Before moving to Dominica, I lived and worked in England, Germany and Japan. I hold a BA Hons from the University of Leeds and I also spent time studying behind the Iron Curtain at the then Karl Marx University of Leipzig in former East Germany.

In Dominica, I live on the outskirts of the village of Giraudel at an elevation of around 2,000 feet. The climate is ideal for growing coffee and cocoa, and I enjoy cultivating and processing both. I’m an insatiable traveller and am always thinking up new journeys.
