2024 Maine: Photographs by Anne Brown, Jean Cousins, Holly Ryan, Lori Simpson and Amy Stendel
This calendar is a set of beautiful images by our Maine artists, featuring the best of Maine.
About paper
We recommend coated card stock for the highest print quality on a non-rag paper. This is card stock that has been coated with a matte finish to optimize print quality from a wide format inkjet printer. The paper we use is 230 gsm, roughly equivalent to 80 pound cover.
For a more robust paper, with a slight loss of quality, and an economy of pricing, we have three sizes available in heavy card stock, 271 gsm, or 100 pound cover. This paper will NOT curl. Robert estimates the image print quality on this paper at about 90% of coated card stock.
For giclee quality printing of your calendar we offer heavy rag paper as an option from Hahnemuehle, their Photo Rag, at 308 gsm or about 120 pound cover. This paper has a velvety surface and yields a print with presence. It is admittedly expensive, but the cost of 14 individual giclee prints of these images, would, at each of the sizes, be much more expensive.
We hope this is helpful. ~Robert

Anne Brown’s New England roots run as deep as her affinity with the sea. She is happiest exploring the New England coastline from Cape Cod to Maine and sharing the joy and peace she finds there with others. She lives in Rockland, Maine and has a home in Wellfleet on Cape Cod. More of her work can be seen on Instagram at @anne.brown.photo and on her website www.annebrownphoto.com.
Jean Cousins is a fine art photographer and graphic designer living in Cape Elizabeth. Her images reflect her love of the ocean and everyday life on the coast of Maine. Her work can be seen on Instagram at @jdcousins.
Lori Simpson is a lifetime resident of Maine. This rootedness is clear as she engages the breathtaking beauty of each season along the Maine coastline. She specializes in sunrise and sunset photographs, communicating a sense of place and grandeur at the same time. Her imagery breathes. More of her work can be found on Instagram at @loriasimpson.
Holly Ryan: Holly’s Maine stretches from Eustis in the West where she can chat with the moose and the deer to Belfast on the Coast where the sea fog cloaks everything in mystery. She lives in Unity with birds in her backyard. At the right time of year she finds lupines everywhere. More of her work can be seen on Instagram at @Hollys.Maine.Photos
Amy Stendel lives in Rockport and wanders the midcoast for her images. From the intimate familiarity of her back yard to the raw rockery of the Maine coastline, Amy’s images engage, delight and awe. You can see more of Amy’s work on Instagram at @karnateofmaine_ .
Robert Manz Studio has been publishing fine art calendars of towns on Cape Cod for many years. Originally they were all Robert’s work; then they extended down the coast to include some other great photographers of Cape Cod, New England and Maine in the growing collection. Now we are reaching out to a broader set of artists and including their work. Watch the collection grow. All of the studio’s calendars can be seen at robertmanzstudio.com
