CANVEY artist Debra Ling raised £350 for a cancer charity by auctioning one of her paintings.

The portrait of two dancers was on display in the Fair Havens Charity Shop, Furtherwick Road, for two weeks while tickets were sold in shops and businesses.

Mrs Ling began fundraising for the hospice shortly after being diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago.
