The NZ family which lost three family members in the Haiti earthquake are auctioning off an artwork from a Ladyhawke album.

The bodies of Emmanuel Rejouis, 39, and his New Zealand-born daughters Kofie-Jade, 5, and Zenzie, 4, were found in the rubble of the Karibe Hotel in Port-au-Prince.

Their two-year-old sister, Alyahna, was pulled alive from the debris. The girls' mother, Nelson-born Emily Sanson-Rejouis, 37, was working at the United Nations office when the quake hit and also survived.

The artwork was done by Sarah Larnach, a step-daughter of Emily, who is the graphic artist for Ladyhawke.

Bids for the artwork have so far reached $1135.

The ebay auction closes at 5.20pm.
