Britain's 'Mini Monet,' Kieron Williamson, is eight years old and earned nearly a quarter million dollars at a recent art show where individual pieces sold for between $3,600 and $16,000 each. Buyers traveled to the Norfolk gallery from around the world and camped out for two days outside the gallery so they wouldn't miss the chance to purchase.
The talented young artist began painting in 2008 after a family trip. His work has been well received, earning him the nickname of Mini Monet. Kieron Williamson is well on his way to life as a professional artist.
