About Esom Gallery
ABOUT
ESOM Art is the artist-owned gallery home to Tony and Tracey Mose. The creative husband and wife team have established themselves as a national talent with a body of work that attracts collectors of every lifestyle, taste and aesthetic. Tony and Tracey’s body of work reflect their love of each other and their love of the talent they have been trusted with; transcending the canvas to become an experience for the viewer who is invited (as we say) “welcome to the ESOM fam!”
Tony Mose | Artist
As a keen observer of the human experience, Tony Mose transforms brief moments of connection into powerful figurative pieces. Each artwork becomes a portal into someone's untold story - a snapshot of lives glimpsed in passing, reimagined through his unique artistic lens. These pieces invite viewers to become co-creators, weaving your own narratives into the visual tapestry he begins.
Tony's artistic universe extends far beyond the figurative. His abstract works are emotional symphonies in color and texture, while his landscapes capture both the vibrant energy of water lily-dotted waters and the mysterious allure of Louisiana's misty swamplands. Whether sculpting in painted plaster or laying paint to panel, his work pulses with an authenticity that speaks to our shared human experience.
In every piece, Tony doesn't just create art - he opens windows into worlds where memory, emotion, and imagination converge, inviting us all to step through and explore.

Tracey Mose | ARTIST
Dive into the world of Tracey Mose, where the pulsing heart of New Orleans beats through every creation. Armed with both artistic vision and business acumen, Tracey transforms the city's living history into striking works of art that bridge past and present.
Through her lens and onto canvas, she captures the soul of her home city and the wider world in bold strokes of acrylic. Her Urban Expressionism pieces dance between centuries, finding poetry in negative space and storytelling in architectural details. But Tracey doesn't stop there - her innovative mixed media works leap from digital realms onto aluminum surfaces and elegant mirrors, where paint adds yet another dimension to her visual narratives.
Tracey Mose proves that creativity knows no bounds. Each piece embodies her philosophy that art isn't just for walls - it is most certainly a way of life.

Ronnie Dufrene
DIRECTOR -
3935 Magazine
social media MANAGER
CORPORATE PROJECTS LIASION
Ronnie Dufrene was born and raised in New Orleans and has spent a number of years working in corporate communications for a large corporation. Ronnie’s keen eye for art and interior design led him to a chance meeting with Tracey. The two collaborated on a piece for Ronnie’s home and the rest was history—Tracey asked him to be part of the team initially part-time, and he graciously accepted. He fell in love with art so much that he decided to make a career change and is now a full-time gallery director for the Magazine Street gallery. Ronnie believes art is very much like a love story. He says “the piece must invoke a feeling in the eye of the beholder. I consider art a personal experience and much like one’s style, art is an extension of someone’s self.” He enjoys guiding visitors to pieces that will complement their existing collection, so their space looks cohesive. He is responsible for the gallery's corporate outreach as well as social media. When Ronnie isn't at the gallery, he enjoys fitness, international travel, and spending time with his Frenchie, Delphine Marie.

KIPP WESTLING DIRECTOR - 811 Royal CREATIVE CONSULTANT TO-THE-TRADE LIAISON
Aside from his title role of Gallery Director for our gallery at 811 Royal Street, Kipp also uses his creative spirit to breathe life into ESOM events, working alongside the community organizations that promote the artists and arts in New Orleans, and specializing in to-the-trade (architect and designer) relations. Having been in the design industry for over a decade, Kipp has come to appreciate the ever-growing possibilities for finish and furnishing selections - particularly those that have more than just surface glamor, but those which have a story woven into every fiber, cut into every seam, brushed into each stroke. He says “It is the sum of all a materials parts that provides more to a space than some dazzling visual. It is the moment of breathlessness you experience when walking into a space for the first time and immediately know that you have left a mere room of walls, but transcended into an experience in which the space itself heightens senses, excites the spirit, and enhances the physical act of being present there.” In addition to his roles at ESOM, Kipp brings over a decade of experience in the interior design industry. He works with clients on their whole-home projects or just simple “freshen-ups” ,and is also partnered with Triton Stone Group to provide surfaces and finishes to his clients and projects.
