OIRAN THE COURTESAN, a digitally enhanced black and white limited edition print, [36 x 28], is from the artist's Asian cultures exhibition of the world famous courtesans. Oiran is the Japanese courtesan distinguishable from the ancient geisha class of Renaissance Era history, by her over-exaggerated head pieces, her heavily layered kimono, her bare feet and elevated block sandals. In this example the Japanese courtesan's head pieces were the measure of her rock star status and wealth, as a courtesan that would cost her patron the equivalent of one year's wages for a single night with her. These rare head pieces denoted this courtesan patron's sizable wealth and what portion of his wealth was being devoted to her company alone. Even the most successful geisha would have needed two lifetimes to acquire the same measure of personal wealth this display of courtesan's gifts represented.

Paula Letherblaire, had several art apprentice internships in Northern California from 1982 through 1998 followed by a long string of art glass course work that led her to San Jose State, Pilchuck, UC Davis, UCLA, before graduating as a formal art studio major from California State University Sacramento. In 2001 Paula Letherblaire, as principle artist, established the art team of specialists that became Letherblaire House in Sacramento, California. The Letherblaire House design teams specialize in commercial collaboration with architectural, exterior and interior designers to provide multiple media artwork and installations including: sculpture (bronze, ceramic, dimensional paper, mosaic art glass and earth sculpture formations including fountains and ponds), the occasional oil on canvas, ink drawings, and the most recent obsession with photography prints. Under the art direction of Paula Letherblaire, the Letherblaire House art team collaborated with numerous international designers, interior designers, architects and landscape designers for resort hotel projects and public space projects in the Western Coastal United States, Hawaii and Bali. Letherblaire House also serves a faithful list of private collectors, and has also participated in several annual group exhibitions sponsored by the Glass Art Society at the Corning Glass Museum in Corning, NY. The demands of collaborative commercial art have long since moved the Letherblaire House away from the art gallery circuit, except for those exhibitions deserving honorable mention that are listed below:
