The piece that has been purchased and subsequently donated by BresicWhitney is by acclaimed bird portrait photographer and video artist Leila Jeffreys, entitled ‘Branch 03, 2022’.

The work is part of a catalogue of 26 contemporary works donated by businesses across banking, mining, finance, telecommunications, art and property sectors.

The collection has been curated by renowned Art Advisor, Catherine Asquith. 100% of the proceeds from the auction will go towards supporting Vinnies’ homelessness programs.

Leading the effort from BresicWhitney is Chief Operating Officer Will Gosse, who said it was an opportunity to combine the group’s passion for art, and the arts, with its commitment to supporting local communities.

“Supporting our communities is something that BresicWhitney has been dedicated to since its inception two decades ago."

"While we’re fortunate enough to care for many of Sydney’s most desirable homes, the reality for many around us, is that they find themselves at-risk and in need."

"We have been supporting organisations like Vinnies for more than 10 years in a myriad of ways and the inaugural ‘Art for Goodness Sake’ auction was an opportunity for us to combine our passion for art, while contributing to the lives of those doing it tough."

“We’re humbled to be among a group of like-minded organisations across Australia, with shared values and an appreciation for the tangible difference these funds will make to both Vinnies and those they serve,” he said.
