Kieron Williamson's Economical Impact

Kieron quickly realised, after winning three local competitions for coloring, that he could monetize his artistic ability; he placed an add in the local newletter, offering Pet Portraits to make some extra money.

Kieron's talent developed at a fast pace and grew even more after the family had enrolled him in art classes. This was also the beginning of recognition and praise for his work by art experts and in August 2009, Kieron Williamson's first art exhibition took place at the Picturecraft Gallery. It sold out in 14 minutes and he earned $22,338 for 19 of his paintings.

The second exhibition took place in December,2009, at the same Gallery and the same thing occurred: his work was sold within 15 minutes of the opening. The paintings were gone so fast that Kieron’s mom didn’t even get a chance to view the exhibition.

By the time his third exhibit opened in July, 2010, Kieron's name as an extremely talented, child prodigy had spread worldwide and buyers from around the world came to purchase one of his work.

Yup, all his works, 33 in total, sold out in under half an hour and about 2,000 people from 35 countries all over the world are on a waiting list for and opportunity to buy Kieron's work.

So far, Kieron is only selling his paintings, but I don't think it will be long before we can buy calendars, mugs, greeting cards, etc. with his work on it; I think he will have a great impact on England's future economy.

'Mini Monet', 'child prodigy, 'Picasso', or whatever else you like to call him; let's not forget that Kieron Williamson is just an 8 year old boy like any other. Yeah, just another boy, but one with a remarkable talent!
