Kieron was kindly supported by Carol Ann Pennington, a local artist and gallery owner who offered Kieron an hour each week and then the opportunity to showcase his progress..

‘Honey’ was a pet portrait and Kieron advertised in the local Holt Chronicle, to paint pet portraits so that he could raise money to buy his art materials!. He managed a couple of commissions, but after hitting the headlines in 2009, the £5-£10 portrait requests became overwhelming and beyond his capabilities to keep up with the demand!
