TRICIA POTTINGER

Tricia began her framing journey over 35 years ago while in college, and it quickly became a lifelong passion. As a Certified Picture Framer, she brings both technical expertise and a keen eye for design to every project. Her work is rooted in the belief that custom framing is a way to tell meaningful stories and preserve cherished memories. Known for her thoughtful customer service, Tricia takes time to understand each client’s vision and create something truly personal. With decades of experience, she continues to bring creativity, craftsmanship, and care to every piece that comes through Tricia's Rose City Framing. 

Tricia carries a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Communications and Marketing. She developed her framing expertise under the tutelage of a Master Picture Framer while attending college full-time. She acted as Framing Manager for The Framer’s Workshop in Akron, Ohio, as well as a Regional Sales Rep for NorthCoast Frame Supply. Tricia’s entrepreneurial spirit led her to open Riverbend Picture Framing shortly after obtaining her degree. 

Tricia and Brian are high school sweethearts and were married in 1989. They enjoy working together and inspire each other to not only produce high-quality picture framing, but to be better humans. They believe each day is full of "Pay it Forward" moments. Integrity, kindness, and generosity are what fuels them.

BRIAN POTTINGER

Brian has been working with his hands his entire life.  As a young child, his father taught him the skills of woodworking and electrical, as they built a model railroad together.  At the age of seventeen, he joined the Army National Guard and worked as a tank mechanic, and has also worked as a heavy equipment mechanic. 

At the age of thirty, Brian shifted gears toward aviation, gaining ratings not only as a licensed aircraft mechanic but also as a commercial pilot and certified flight instructor. Brian and Tricia spent 15 years serving the people of Indonesia as a missionary family. As a mission pilot, Brian flew in the mountains of Papua, providing essential air services supporting community, economic, and spiritual development of the local people as well as training Indonesian pilots to serve their community.

Brian applies his experience and attention to detail in wood and metal working to the business, demanding aircraft-like exactness and excellence in every frame he builds.  

Aline Heiser has spent more than two decades immersed in the world of custom framing, transforming cherished items and keepsakes into works of art.  Since 2001, her career has spanned a variety of markets, from fast-paced city environments to suburban and small-town settings.  Throughout it all, she developed close relationships and trust with clients. 

Of all of the forms her evolving craft can take, Aline is particularly drawn to the challenge and artistry of framing memorabilia and designing intricate shadowboxes.  Many customers have entrusted her with family heirlooms, sports memorabilia, children's artwork, as well as paintings, prints, and rare documents for exhibition and sale.

Every project is a statement and preservation of memories. Every picture tells a story.
