Introducing the GPS Coordinates Collection. First off, what does GPS coordinates mean? In short, GPS coordinates are a set of numbers that pinpoint a specific location on Earth using the Global Positioning System (GPS). They are typically expressed in latitude (how far north or south of the equator) and longitude (how far east or west of the prime meridian). For example, a coordinate like 47.6205° N, 122.3493° W represents a unique spot - such as a scenic viewpoint - anywhere in the world.
NOTE: When entering these decimals into your mapping apps, a minus symbol, must be placed in front of the second set of numbers if it is associated with a W. Also, there is no need to enter in the degree symbol or the directional, compass abbreviations of N, S, E, or W. The example of coordinates (above) would be typed in to your map app like this: 47.6205, -122.3493 If the minus symbol is omitted from this set of numbers, you will find yourself on the opposite side of the Earth. That will give you a giggle.
So, the GPS Coordinates Collection is a collection of expressive landscape paintings inspired by real places - each piece rooted in a specific moment and viewpoint. Each GPS Coordinate Collection print is customized with its GPS coordinates, linking the artwork directly to the location that sparked its creation. This collection invites you to explore the emotional spirit of a place, blending vivid color with geographical truth. Own not just a print, but a “pin on the map” of a memory or longing to visit a destination.
Perfect for art collectors, nature lovers, and anyone seeking to bring a sense of quiet wonder and a sense of adventure into their space. Please share your special locations you would like to see on the artist’s growing list of “To Paint” or reach out to explore commission work.

Tina was raised in the lush, evergreen landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, where her love for the outdoors was born.
By day, Tina works indoors supporting the health & well being of employees, which she finds physically limiting at times - especially when she feels most alive hiking forest trails, mountain biking scenic single-track, snowboarding alpine slopes, and paddle-boarding on smooth, clear waters.
Her adventurous spirit thrives when she explores with her family, the rugged beauty and natural playgrounds of the West Coast, Montana, Alaska and Canada. Occasional travels to the East Coast, Europe, and warm, tropical locations add an exciting change to scenery, colors, textures and new adventures.
Perhaps with the art Tina shares, you will recall fond memories and favorite stories associated with these locations. Or even more adventurous, be inspired to visit the GPS coordinates locations. Create your own stories and your own adventures. It’s more than what our eyes see - it’s what our hearts remember.
