About Bree

I am Bree Day, an Australian born photographer & Mum based in a small outback town in Central Queensland. 

I am passionate about healing through creating, nature, mental health, coffee, community & raising my beautiful children.
 

For many years I worked as a family portrait photographer, but after stepping back to focus on my own health and family, I found myself drawn into the world of nature mandalas and botanical art.
What began as simply collecting leaves, pods, and petals to create nature mandalas for mindfulness, changed when my love for botanical exploration through my lens blossomed and took over like a very welcome, invasive weed that grew into a fine art practice which now centres on double exposure photography.

The name Smudged Art began with the ritual of smudging my nature mandalas, but over time it’s come to mean something bigger: that art, like life, can be imperfect and still deeply beautiful.
