2014 - Nov - IT’S YOU! - Jan Peyser, owner and silversmith jeweler, Jan Peyser Jewelry, LLC; building owner Donald D Mackey
    Gallery & Studio - separated from the gallery by long drapes, grand opening event Nov. 7, 8, and 9.
      Peyser has been an artist since childhood, though her path was diverted along the way to raise her children and teach high school English and drama in southern Indiana for twelve years before moving to Culver, where she taught English and coached public speaking for nine years.

      Then, during the summer after her fifteenth year of teaching, she took a course in silversmithing at the Mendocino Art Center in California.

      Peyser immediately recognized it was time to pursue her dream, and, six years later, she left teaching and went on the road to participate in nationwide art shows for two years. During those years on the road, customers were enchanted by the distinctive designs and purchased her jewelry, calling it “captivating,” and “inspired.”

      Exhilarated and exhausted, Peyser folded up her tent for the last time and spent one year thinking about and discussing ideas with her husband, author Ray Gleason.

      Eventually, Peyser ventured into the world of retail with two shops on the Lake Michigan shoreline. There she gained valuable experience managing a shop, working with customers, carefully choosing and carrying other artists’ collections, and learning she absolutely loved having a shop focused on exquisite works of art.
