The Inspiration

The Bearded Dragon Gallery is a Social Enterprise Business of Community Bridging Services (CBS) Inc.
While it is an avenue for the public to purchase outstanding pieces from local artists it is far greater than just a gallery. It sells hope for people who often feel overlooked and invisible in the community.

For over 21 years Community Bridging Services (CBS) Inc. have been running art classes and recreation supports for people with a disability. Over that time we have recognised that while the artwork is often outstanding there has not been a permanent place for the public to come and access these works.

Marlene Post, the creator of the logo, is one of these artists. Marlene paints and draws dragons because they symbolise power in her life. She loves “that they breathe fire” and have the ability to fly. Her positive illustrations and love of colour inspired the gallery to give power to artists who often feel they have none.
