Portchie, who grew up in the Free State, reported on Facebook that “people loved the layout of the exhibition and all the different things like the paintings, cushions, trays, handbags, postcards and sculptures which were for sale. There was such a lively atmosphere and everybody talked loud and laughed a lot.”

“For me joy doesn’t come in black and brown it comes in all different colours. My whole being is made up of beautiful people around me who make me smile. I think about what I can do to make them smile.”
