For several years she focused on her visual art, regularly exhibiting work at the Outsider Art Fair, showing in galleries, publicly buried herself in bottles during her 2023 residency on Governors Island, created and curated internationally The Mushroom Show in 2023
and the 2026 Unfurling: Coming Out Of Isolation in NYC and London.

Her return to the theater has been a serendipitous process, with her solo storytelling show, On Cats and Dogs and Other Family Revelations, successfully premiered at the 2024 NYC Fringe Festival. Its various iterations are performed at Under St Marks
Theater.

As part of Under St Marks Theater revival of the vibrant improvisation programming that existed before Covid, Vermillion and her Lovely Shoes improv team hosted for a year the monthly Side-Coached show, which morphed into this season’s Lovely Shoes & Friends
variety show.

During her residency, she mines her vast field notes archive and develops its time capsule chunks into evenings of inventive monologues, some soulful, some naughty, under the overall title Book Spines Broken By My Purring Cat. This season she presents
extracts from Volume One: Fanging My Way Thru America covering her first years in New York with their odd jobs, hopes and cringe moments. Revisiting those hard times proves to be an arduous negotiation. How does one justice to her younger self and the
people she encountered? The tight places she had to navigate unscathed. The bureaucratic hassles. The joys of New York art scene.
Two of its chapters, Hatchlings of The Devil’s Nest and Fifty Sons and Daughters, will be part of Gotham Storytelling Festival 2026.
