GAP in the News: Kim Phillips

Made in St. Louis: Her Art Goes Beyond Jewish Papercutting She’s Known For

By Pat Eby Special to the Post-Dispatch

Artist Kim Phillips makes her marks in the world through drawing, typography, design, paper cutting, painting and more. Her works are a pleasure to behold, and the focused intent she brings to her pieces is grounded in a faith she lives each day.

Phillips, who wanted to better understand her Jewish friends’ religion, spent a year immersed in the study of Judaism. “Well, I read an lot of books in those 12 months on theology, history, the Bible, holidays, art and more. When I finished in 2001, I told the new rabbi at the synagogue I attended ‘I want to convert.’ I did, and she’s my rabbi to this day.”
