four cutout self portraits of the artist, Mad Sierra Photography. the photos are neon and showcase three different collages and one fine art portrait.
Mad Sierra is a creative portrait photographer and mixed media collage artist — but above all, a storyteller. She crafts bold visual narratives that blend portraiture with psychedelic layering, graphic design, and physical print manipulation. Her signature style fuses scanography with modern pop aesthetics, resulting in vibrant, one-of-a-kind works. Mad collaborates with individuals and brands seeking eye-catching, original artwork that reflects their identity. She transforms portraits into pop art posters that capture both her distinct vision and the unique essence of each subject. Guided by her clients' individuality, Mad produces striking, personalized pieces that celebrate authenticity, creative freedom, and bold self-expression. Mad Sierra Photography is based in Portland, Oregon, but available for travel wherever art is waiting to be made.
