About the artist
AYLO (Hayley Garner) is an internationally recognised street artist, muralist, and creative director with 20+ years’ experience and 150+ murals to her name. Her large-scale works explore resilience, heritage, and our relationship with the environment. As co-founder of Nomad Clan, she has produced landmark murals across Europe, including the UK’s tallest mural near Leeds Station, earning a reputation for ambitious, site-responsive storytelling that sparks public dialogue. Alongside her studio and public art practice, AYLO plays a leading role in cultural production: she curates and organises Common Walls (Rochdale), overseeing artist curation, project planning, budgeting, and stakeholder engagement to deliver high-quality, community-rooted projects. She is also co-founder of The Butterfly Effected CIC, a creative movement that combines art, therapy, and lived experience to address mental health, addiction, and social adversity through workshops, murals, film and storytelling. AYLO’s murals frequently integrate themes of biodiversity and conservation, drawing on her experiences as a diver and underwater photographer, and are grounded in local histories and identities. Her portfolio spans community-led initiatives and brand collaborations, consistently uniting visual impact with social value. Across painting, curation, and advocacy, AYLO’s work champions shared heritage, environmental awareness, and the power of public art to connect people and place.
