On March 8, 2025, Jan Rindfleisch's long fight against cancer came to an end. We at Ginger Press, along with so many others who knew and loved her and had the privilege of joining her adventurous, generous explorations of possibilities in life and art, deeply feel her absence, while we vow to continue her legacy of creative collaboration. A tribute by her family, covering some of the highlights of an active, creative, complex life full of rich experience, learning, and wonderful friendships and collaborations, is on the In Memoriam page.
