"For Rachel Wiley-Janota, Galveston’s beaches aren’t just a place of peace, but a place of inspiration.Wiley-Janota, a Galveston artist whose work is on display at her family’s gallery on Postoffice Street in the island’s downtown, spends many mornings out on the beach with an easel and palette, and sometimes a sleeping baby nearby, trying to capture the scenic nature of the beach — whatever that might be on a given day.“It’s this one place you go, and it’s always different,” she said. “For me, it’s the fact it’s always going to be a mystery of what kind of weather is there, what kind of clouds, what kind of colors.”The beach brings new challenges all the time, she said.“Right now, I’ve been really into trying to capture the morning or the evening golden light,” Wiley-Janota said. “It just shimmers off the water. I’ve been using actual gold leaf to try to create that. I’m attempting to capture that sparkly glow.”

Rachel Wiley-Janota, Visual Artist
What is your weapon of choice?
I'm mostly a painter and photographer, so I always need a camera, my iPhone or 35mm film or polaroids, and at least one notebook with graphite pencils to get started. If I'm not outside working, I use photographs, prints and small studies in the studio. I work with watercolours, inks, acrylics, oils, beeswax, encaustic and gold leaf. I have watercolour papers, hardwood boards, and canvases to paint on and use lots of painting and putty knives, paper towels and wash brushes, spray bottles with water or alcohol, and maybe a hot plate, sandpaper and a blow torch. And if I am in the studio, I love to look through my collection of found photography and books for materials and inspiration.
How did you get started as a creator?
I was raised by a painter, but I wanted to be a biologist since I was young. I really believe we are all born creators, but I reconnected with painting in my early adulthood when I took a brilliant drawing class from Mark Greenwalt, who has both fine art and biology backgrounds.
My mom, grandmother and sister all painted with traditional oils, which I didn't connect with, but learning mixed media really got me excited to work again. Art-making then became everything to me, like a language I needed to speak with others. For me, it was like hearing blues music or reading beat and zen poetry for the first time, once I discovered it, I realized just how much I needed it in my life every day.
What gets you most excited about your work?
I’m always getting excited and inspired by something to work on, but I try to focus on the gulf coast landscape and my found photography. When people connect with what I make, it means a lot to me. I realize how lucky I am to be a full time, working artist with a studio in my home, and I am immensely grateful for it.
Where do you get inspiration from?
Everything, really. Summer storms, the colours in the sky, the ocean, fog, golden light, painting in the moonlight. Experimenting with different media and subtle colour relationships. Finding spectacular vernacular photographs, scanning old film. Taking a walk, looking up at the clouds, looking down into salt water or sand. A great line of poetry or book or song. Smelling fresh rosemary in my garden. The wetlands, sleeping outside under the stars, blues, folk, and gospel music. Central America, China, and South Texas, the people, their history, music, and food. Watching my kids learn, collecting things in the garden and searching for answers with them. Picnics in the grass, beautiful stoneware ceramics, vintage glassware, campfires in the woods or my backyard.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Forgiveness is key. Just be more forgiving of your own mistakes, and of everyone else's. Mistakes teach you things. We are all learning and evolving at our own pace, and fear, resentment and regret just eat away at you. Life is too short to not be working on the next beautiful lesson or art project.
What do you do to promote your work?
I am really lucky to have a great, brick and mortar gallery with my family on Galveston Island, Texas. René Wiley Gallery. And I may spend too much time posting on social media, but it really does help.
Tell us about a project you are most proud of.
I have had a solo exhibition of paintings every year since 2013, with about 30 new pieces each time. I am really proud of myself for that, especially after 2016, since I have had my children home with me while making the pieces. But truly, my kids are what I am most proud of - my longest-term projects to date!
I find that, once I am done with an artwork, I'm on to the next thing, so it just doesn't compare to what parenting is like as a project. I approach my motherhood as an artist. I think my best artworks are also like my children, I use my knowledge to the best of my abilities to mould them to turn out strong and connected to something bigger than myself. And there is this divine mystery that happens in both making a great piece of art and raising kids, somehow they come through you and exist independently from you without you even knowing exactly how.
You find a lottery ticket that ends up winning $10 million. What would you do?
I think I would want to live very much the same as I do now. Except I'd buy a nice boat for my boys and me to fish on, there are no better views for my work here on the coast, and it would be a floating classroom for us. I'd definitely travel more with my children and husband too, so we could teach our kids more about the world's incredible diversity. Then I'd have to find ways to give grants to artists wherever we travelled to.
But, most importantly, I'd invest most of it to help people and rescue dogs. I would love to open two separate nonprofits, in Houston and San Antonio. They would be a dog rescue and sanctuary at both places, but one location would be a haven for mothers and children escaping violence, and the other would be a rehab facility for people suffering from alcohol or drug addiction. Both places would be focused on finding peace and strength for people healing through the care of the many dogs in need.
How do you switch off?
I'd say I'm more in need of recharge than a complete switching off. So pulling weeds in my garden, a walk, a cup of tea, reading poetry, beach-combing. A little road trip with thrift stores if I'm lucky. As a parent, I don't get to do that as much; instead, I snuggle up with my kids and dogs in our tent in the backyard, and we have a campfire together. I'd love to do that more with just my husband too. But at the end of the day, I guess it's a glass of red wine, or maybe a bourbon or tequila with herbs from my garden. I'd enjoy it while listening to my favourites like Lightnin' Hopkins, First Aid Kit or Iron and Wine in my studio.
What's the book that every creator should read?
There are just too many to say one, but these stick out in my mind: The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz, Residence on Earth by Pablo Neruda, The People of Paper by Salvador Plascencia. They have each changed my life in some way, they each reinforced to me how important it is to be an observer and be passionately creative.

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"

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."
