Mythos Show ImageThe Eye of Horus Mythic Art Gallery presents Mythos, a solo show of the works of Niamh O’Connor. The show was originally scheduled to run from May 10th through July 31st, but due to popular demand, has been extended through September 7th. The reception featured the only full viewing of one of the artifacts, The Tome of the Nephilim – 8.5” x 16”, metal and leather bound book is in a glass case on the store floor, but the rest of the 20-some pieces are in the 2nd floor gallery.

In addition to the framed pieces, fine art prints are also for sale, starting at $29.00 for individual Tarot images. Prints are also available as part of the Mythos show.
