About Us

Hayley Gallery has been the culmination of a lifelong dream for New Albany, Ohio resident Hayley Savage.

Her older sister, a retired art teacher with a Masters Degree in Art Education and formerly the owner of a floral design and gift boutique, took Hayley to museums throughout New York City from the time Hayley was old enough to walk. That began Hayley's love of art which blossomed into a personal passion.

After graduating with a Business Degree from Hofstra University, Hayley made a vow to use her savings to purchase one piece of original artwork every year. As a result, she has assembled a serious art collection that was featured in the April 2011 issue of CityScene magazine.

As a relative newcomer to the Columbus area by way of Chicago and New York, she used her connections as an art collector to debut a fundraiser called "Art in New Albany" (AINA).  After 25 years as a successful sales and marketing executive for Time, Inc. and CBS/Columbia House in New York City, APAC in Deerfield, IL and Influent in Dublin, OH, the unparalleled success of AINA reignited her desire to own an art gallery.

Adding to her role of gallery owner, Hayley and partner Amy Schottenstein opened ella (eat local. love art.), an exciting new restaurant connected to Hayley Gallery.  Both Hayley Gallery and ella share a passion for all that is local -- creating a true synergy between food and art.

But by far Hayley's most important role has been that of single parent to her two teenagers.  She indulges in two other passions – travel and SCUBA, whenever she can find the time.

Meet Rory, the official gallery dog.

In August of 2008, Hayley adopted 4-month old Rory after meeting Amanda Wampler from Adopt Pet Rescue in Westerville. Hayley never thought she could love a dog as much as her beloved German Shepherd Zach who died in December, 2007, but after Adopt Pet Rescue brought Rory to the gallery, she fell in love with those beautiful blue eyes and sweet temperament. Rory, a Dingo mix, is with Hayley and Alicia at the gallery almost every day.
