Meet the Maker
Hello and welcome! I’m Evelyn Goldman (she/her), the artist behind Romance and Mishegoss.
My art is all about storytelling, tradition, and joy. I create papercut art that weaves together Jewish heritage, personal meaning, and communal celebration. Every design starts with a hand-drawn sketch, which I digitize and cut with a machine—but the magic really happens in the finishing touches I do by hand. I use eco-friendly, archival materials to make art that is both rooted in tradition and alive in the present.
You can also find my pieces at the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience in New Orleans.
How it’s Made
This papercut began as a tribute to Jewish American Heritage Month in 2024, created for a library display where I work. The Golem of Prague quickly captured hearts—becoming not only a best-seller but also the piece that taught me the art of papercutting by hand. While I now use a cutting machine for precision, each design is still hand-finished for clean edges and detail. Cut from high-quality, acid-free black cardstock, this piece blends bold graphic style with deep cultural roots, crafted with care and a love for Jewish folklore.
