November 2018 - Galveston Monthly Magazine cover
"The cover this month is a mixed media painting titled “White Heron” by Galveston artist Rachel Wiley-Janota. The painting is part of Rachel’s sixth solo exhibition of paintings, MENAGERIE, which is full of new works that reflect the artist’s time spent with her son discovering the wealth of local and exotic wildlife found along the Texas Gulf Coast. This painting is of a Great White Heron (Egret) in breeding season that highlights the bright turquoise facial coloring they acquire during this time. Rachel feels fortunate to be raising her son in a place where there is an abundance of wildlife that can be so easily observed. She created this new group of artworks to reflect these interests, and in doing so she is trying to teach her son to love and appreciate the treasures that this landscape provides. The René Wiley Gallery is located downtown at 2128 Postoffice. The gallery is open daily from 11am to 6pm. For more details call 409.750.9077"

Shallow Dance
A book of essays by Matty Sullivan
Cover Photograph by Rachel Wiley-Janota
From the Author:
"We have many things to talk about—life, death, love, fear, the Universe. Cats and dogs. God. If you are interested in any of these things, you will enjoy yourself. If at any point it gets too heavy, don’t worry—none of the chapters are very long. In fact, they’re not really chapters at all. If anything, this book is simply a collection of short, well-crafted literary excursions into confusion and insanity. There are no characters to keep track of, no complicated technical details to memorize—just the tortured heart and dancing mind of one writer struggling to meet life on his own terms."
