After hearing that her friend John Prine had been hospitalized in critical condition with Covid-19, Joan sat down with her guitar in her Northern California home and video recorded a heartfelt rendition of Prine’s “Hello In There,” dedicating the song to him. After his passing, she decided to create a print to his memory with the proceeds going to COVID-19 relief.
One hundred 16” x 20” archival pigment prints of the portrait were created by Joan – priced at $500 unframed, signed and numbered. 100% of the profits went to benefit the Pandemic Resource & Response Initiative at Columbia University, a nonprofit directed by Joan’s longtime friend Dr. Irwin Redlener, a pediatrician and public health activist specializing in health care for underserved children.
