Sseven Year Old Kieron Williamson Makes $236,850 By Selling His Paintings

Seven-year-old Kieron Williamson is taking the art world by storm. Dubbed "Mini Monet" by the British media, Williamson recently exhibited and sold his collection of oil and watercolor paintings for more than $236,850.

Williamson's art exhibition at Holt, Norfolk, England, attracted buyers from the United States, South Africa and around the world, and all 33 paintings in his latest collection sold in 27 minutes. Some buyers even camped outside the gallery two days before the exhibition opened.

Adrian Hill, co-owner of the gallery in Holt where the sale was conducted said: "Kieron has probably become one of the most collectable artists currently exhibiting worldwide. He's impressionist without being too abstract. He is years in advance of where he should be."

Williamson says, "I normally paint in the morning and I am up at 6am and then after school - but with the school holidays at the moment, I am painting all the time, I like landscapes as they've got the big Norfolk skies in them and not too many hills or mountains."

Williamson paints up to six paintings a week and 700 people have registered on a waiting list for an original.

Kieron's parents plans to buy him a house with the money earned from sales of his paintings, and invest the rest until he turns 25.
