Avis raised more than $15,000 at a charity auction of art work created during an advertising campaign which sent 12 local artists on road trips in rental cars.
The money from the Art of Discovery campaign by 12 artists goes to R U OK? and Cure Kids.
The auctioned pieces included Jacob Spokes’ take on Lightning Ridge in north-western New South Wales where he retraced his father’s footsteps as a miner, and Rachel Hirabayashi’s trip to Southland where she was inspired to capture the calmness of the landscape
Other art included work by Sally Willbanks and Belynda Henry, both Australia-based and New Zealand artists Angela Maritz and Kris Waldin.
The highest selling piece on the night was Lake Pukaki with Aoraki/Mt Cook in the distance by New Zealand artist Holly Zanbergen selling for $2,700.
The online part of the auction closes on October 20.
