Colorado Artist Behind Portrait Trump Hates Defends Her Work
HuffPost
Sarah Boardman said she completed her Trump portrait "accurately, without ‘purposeful distortion,’ political bias, or any attempt to caricature the subject, actual or implied."
A Colorado artist denies trying to distort Donald Trump’s likeness in a portrait that hung until recently in the state Capitol and says the president’s criticisms are hurting her business.
She also disputed that the work drew a lot of complaints before Trump weighed in.
Trump called the portrait by Colorado Springs painter Sarah Boardman “purposefully distorted” in a March 23 post on Truth Social. Trump added that Boardman “must have lost her talent as she got older” and posted that he preferred having no portrait in the Colorado Capitol to that one.
Legislative leaders announced the next day that they would take the portrait down. It was gone from a wall of past presidents’ portraits the next morning, relegated to museum storage.
In an emailed statement Saturday, Boardman denied intentionally distorting Trump.
