Solo Show - Curious Geometries - Miami International Airport
MIA Galleries is proud to present Curious Geometries, an exhibition of large-scale, sewn and quilted artworks by artist Regina Durante Jestrow. The exhibition invites viewers to pause and enter a world where pattern, material, and memory collide. This series of textile-based works—including stretched compositions and free-form art quilts—explores the irregular, organic, and often playful relationships between geometry and gesture. Inspired by the layered ecologies and the multicultural textures of Miami, the works weave together improvisational dyeing and piecing techniques that nod to the history of quilting while disrupting its expectations.
Repurposed fabrics—sourced from around Miami, including Miami International Airport’s Interior Design Department—carry personal and collective histories, which are transformed through accumulation, repetition, and painterly intuition. Whether suspended freely or taut across stretched canvas, each piece pulses with tension between structure and flow, echoing the rhythms of urban grids and natural forms.
Curious Geometries becomes a site of contemplation and curiosity for travelers: a space where hand-made patterns mimic aerial views, fiber mimics paint, and the boundaries between craft and fine art quietly unravel.

Roque Art + Design
ROQUE is a space for creative expression — where art and design intersect. A place where past and present engage in quiet conversation. The work resists the ordinary, inviting a slower kind of attention.
Here, materials speak, and objects breathe. Each piece holds the presence of the hand and the echo of time — refined yet raw, modern yet eternal. We believe beauty lives in balance: between stillness and motion, restraint and emotion, the known and the becoming.
ROQUE honors process, story, and the invisible labor of creation. It exists to remind us that meaning can be made — and felt — through the tangible. We create not to fill space, but to shape experience. To live with art, not around it. To rediscover the human within the object.
Solo Show - Everything Mixing Always - September 2025
Baker—Hall is pleased to present Everything Mixing Always, Regina Durante Jestrow’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. On view from September 6 through October 11, 2025, the exhibition debuts a new body of textile-based works that build on Durante Jestrow’s longstanding investigation into the symbolism and structure of American quilt traditions.
In her latest series, Durante Jestrow draws from the spiderweb quilt pattern, its historical, folkloric, and personal meanings serving as both a formal and conceptual foundation. Referencing Victorian-era superstitions around embroidered webs as charms for luck, and the emotional resonance found in the work of artists like Louise Bourgeois, she explores the spider as a figure of protection, intuition, and labor. Within these compositions, geometric shapes unfold in directional tension—spiraling, colliding, reforming, and suggesting movement and transition.
The works further echo an intuitive choreography shaped by music. Durante Jestrow approaches the act of making like a dancer in motion, rhythm and improvisation guiding her hand. The title Everything Mixing Always is a nod to musical theory and the layered approaches of composers and sound engineers, meant to evoke the constant interplay of influence, memory, and process. Like a good mix, her compositions ask: what voice should be heard now—and how can the rest hold it up? Durante Jestrow works with hand-dyed fabrics combined with secondhand materials sourced from all over South Florida, including unconventional materials like sequins and neoprene. Her use of reclaimed textiles reflects her commitment to sustainability and a broader engagement with place, echoing the textures and tones of Miami’s natural and cultural landscape.
Regina Durante Jestrow is a Miami-based artist whose work reimagines the language of quilting through abstraction, improvisation, and material experimentation. Deeply influenced by American folk art, mid-century abstraction, and the expressive power of pattern, her work has been exhibited widely throughout Florida and beyond.
