Mark Zelinski Photographic Design and From The Heart Publishing

www.MarkZelinski.com Trained as an artist and a designer at OCAD, Mark Zelinski has enjoyed a diverse career as a professional photographer since 1977, and is also a publisher, writer, painter, filmmaker and winner of the Canadian Governor General’s Medal. Mark has published seven internationally acclaimed photography books, which include forewords by Prince Philip, Prince Andrew, King Constantine, The Honourable Lincoln Alexander and Justin Trudeau. In 2010 Zelinski launched “Books That Heal” - donating 7,000 copies of his books to 100 charities worldwide to aid rescued victims of human trafficking, child abuse prevention, homeless youth, addiction counselling, crime prevention and literacy. Zelinski’s lifelong appreciation of the magnificent Niagara Escarpment has inspired Zelinski to create “Heart Of Turtle Island: The Great Escarpment”, a hardcover book of landscape, wildlife and cultural photography from Niagara Falls to Manitoulin Island. Through Mark’s images, and through the personal accounts of conservationists, scientists, and residents of the diverse aboriginal and settler communities that thrive along its rugged, curving path, readers will have the opportunity experience a multi-layered perspective of the living escarpment. Scheduled for release in 2016, “Heart Of Turtle Island: The Great Escarpment” will address compelling social and environmental issues and reveal some of the most unique and fragile gems of The Escarpment.
