Her artistry can be found in many homes and businesses throughout New England. "Her works are known for their details--for the rendering of each feather of a flying parrot, for making a bouquet of red lilies seem so lifelike that you want to touch the glass." She has taught hundreds of students in her studio/workshop, located in a renovated barn on Route 6A where she shares her glass works with over twenty other Cape artists.

Born in the famed whaling city of New Bedford, Charles Legarde has had a lifelong attraction to the sea and ships. Legarde, a resident of West Falmouth, pursues this passion to perfection in his luminous and highly detailed oil paintings of the sea and vessels that sail upon it. He approaches each painting with the precision of a scientist, reflecting his more than 30 year-long career as a geophysicist. Throughout his life he has studied with a number of fine artists, including Cape Cod artist, Julia O’Malley-Keyes, in whose gallery Legarde’s work has been showcased.
