    Hello.  My name is Elaine Turner (Hilfiker) .  Welcome to my webpage!  I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself.  I grew up in Western New York, graduating from Eden Central Schools.  I received my undergraduate degree from Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa and then went on for my Master's Degree in Art Therapy/Art Education from Nazareth College in Rochester, NY.  I have a wonderful little guy named Martin who is also inspiring me each and everyday to be creative fun! 

    I love arts and crafts and really relish in the fact that Western New York is a rich environment that fosters creativity and the visual arts.  You will see me at the various art festivals, galleries, parks, etc. all year long.  I like to dabble in several art forms and I also love to read!  The students that have had me in the past will tell you that I love my naughty cat Otis as well as rooting for my favorite hockey team, The Buffalo Sabres.

    I think it important to tell you all that I have an identical twin sister who is often mistaken for me out in the community!  She and I are used to this mix up so don't be afraid to say hello anyways!
