Islander Marsha Karr will showcase paintings, prints and cards at a holiday art show and sale on Dec. 5-6.

Karr is planning to donate a portion of the proceeds to Northwest Harvest Food Bank.

Karr, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2004, moved her studio to Mercer Island in 2006.

“Painting was difficult due to PD symptoms including low energy. I fought hard against succumbing to them,” she said.

In May 2013, she had Deep Brain Stimulation, “which changed everything,” she said. Now, her “aspiration is to bring delight and healing” to people through her paintings.

“Humor, whimsy and the awesome beauty of nature are my inspiration,” Karr said.

Handcrafted bowls by Carl Bloom will also be available at the sale, which will be from 2-6 p.m. on Saturday Dec. 5 and 11 a.m.–5 p.m. on Sunday Dec. 6 at 6829 96th Ave S.E.
