Biography
Born in 1966, metal artist Mark Pflieger was raised on a small rural farm on the outskirts of Hamilton, Ontario and returned to his roots in rural Hamilton in his late twenties. He owns and operates Pflieger Eavestrough Company where his focus is exterior restoration of historical buildings in Hamilton and the surrounding area. Pflieger finds inspiration in the beauty of Hamilton and its architecture and is especially enamored with the Skyway Bridge. Using methods such as welding, forging and oxyacetylene free hand torch, he turns scrap and recycled metal into abstract sculptures and torches sketched images into the metal – often depicting the architecture and sceneries he finds beautiful in Hamilton and other Canadian places.

Mark is presently working with celebrated artists including abstract artist Donna Lacka and Indigenous artist, song writer and best-selling author Tom Wilson. Find Mark Pflieger on Instagram @markpfliegermetalartist.
