Trump's Critique Sparks Artist's Career Crisis

Sarah Boardman, an artist from Colorado Springs, is facing a significant backlash to her career following Donald Trump's criticism of her portrait of him, which hung in the Colorado State Capitol for six years. Trump labeled the portrait 'purposefully distorted' and 'truly the worst,' leading to its removal by state lawmakers. Boardman asserts that the portrait was created without bias or distortion and received positive feedback before Trump's comments. She claims that the president's remarks have negatively impacted her business of over 41 years, putting it in jeopardy. Despite the backlash, Boardman maintains that her work, including portraits of Barack Obama and George W. Bush, was executed with integrity and in accordance with her contract. Colorado Republicans are considering commissioning a new portrait to replace the removed one.
