Nicole Peyrafitte
was born in Luchon
(French Pyrenees) into the 5th generation of a family of restaurateurs.
She received her early cooking training from her grand father –
a renowned chef –, and later perfected her skills interning at
several award winning restaurants in France.
She moved to the United States in 1987, settling first in Southern California
where she was a private chef and started her work as a collage artist
and painter.
As an autodidact, she considers each step of her work an attempt to
fulfill her compulsion to learn through a process of immersion that
generates performances incorporating voice / paintings / videos / writing
& cooking.
Peyrafitte performs locally, nationally and in Europe.
