This portrait of Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley and Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar landed Abigail Yearwood in a political firestorm. - Angelo Marcelle
Nineteen-year-old Abigail Yearwood faced her first critics when she posted a portrait she did of the Prime Minister on social media. She found herself in a political firestorm. When I drew the Prime Minister, I got a lot of backlash. At first, there were a lot of positive comments. But then people from the opposing party were upset because I only drew the PM and not the Opposition Leader. A few hours after, I drew Kamla (Persad-Bissessar). I was always planning to draw her. I was very discouraged after all the negative comments and surprised at how people think nowadays, she said.
