Trump's Criticism of Colorado Portrait Threatens Artist's Career

Artist Sarah Boardman denies distorting Trump's likeness, stating his public remarks have severely harmed her 41-year art business.

Donald Trump criticized Sarah Boardman's official portrait of him in the Colorado State Capitol, calling it 'purposefully distorted' and 'truly the worst.'
Following Trump's remarks, the portrait was removed from the Capitol and placed in storage, with discussions underway about commissioning a replacement.
Boardman has publicly denied Trump's claims, stating the portrait was approved throughout the process by the Colorado State Capitol Advisory Committee.
The artist revealed that Trump's comments have caused significant harm to her reputation and business, which she says is now at risk of not recovering.
Boardman has painted other presidential portraits, including those of Barack Obama and George W. Bush, which have received positive feedback.
