Mini Monet all grown up - catching up with the former child prodigy inspired by Cornwall

Kieron Williamson started painting while on holiday in Cornwall when he was only seven years old. His pictures sold for thousands around the world, earning him the nickname of Mini Monet.

Ten years on and at more than six feet tall, Kieron is not so mini but he is still a sought after artist. He has made a considerable fortune and divides his time between homes in Norfolk and the North Cornish coast.

Kieron was known across the globe as Mini Monet. Art critics hailed the pint-sized painter as a child prodigy. At almost 18 he still paints every day and has a hugely successful career as an artist.

Keith and Michelle Williamson, Kieron's parents, originally thought his art was just a phase. His mum says, "I am just so proud of him, proud that he's kept to his passion. He's proved us wrong every day really to be honest. We thought it was going to be a one minute wonder didn't we?"

Kieron has 60 pieces in his latest exhibition. Ten years on, his work has matured and is turning out to be every bit as collectable.
