Maisie Broome

For this edition of Fort Visits (for Fort Makers), we sit down with artist Maisie Broome to talk about intuition, transformation, and the magic woven through her multidisciplinary practice. Working across textiles, sculpture, printmaking, and photographic activation, Broome draws inspiration from nature, mythology, interior worlds, and lived experience. In this conversation, she reflects on her mystical upbringing on an isolated island in Maine, her evolving relationship to place and process, the meditative pull of marbling, and how motherhood has reshaped both her time and creative focus. From swans and spirits to off-the-grid fashion experiments and deeply personal new works on paper, this interview offers a thoughtful glimpse into an artist guided by curiosity, play, and emotional truth.
