Kieron has been selling his work since the age of 7.
The youngster first started painting when he was just five years old and was inspired by boats in dock during a family holiday to Cornwall.
His work first came onto the market in 2009 when 19 of his paintings were sold for £14,000 in a sealed-bid auction.
Since then he has gained international renown and his new collections are regularly snapped up for hundreds of thousands of pounds from buyers around the world.
Last year he saw his earnings soar to £1.5m after another collection sold for £250,000 in just 20 minutes.
