Artwork Description

Hinc Illae Lacrimae — “Hence These Tears”

A pivotal masterpiece in Jessie Cooney’s body of work, Hinc Illae Lacrimae stands as a profound convergence of memory, emotion, and technical mastery. In this painting, the viewer is drawn into the turbulent depths of the ocean beneath a gathering storm—an elemental meditation on loss and transcendence. The work is anchored in Marcoola Beach on the Sunshine Coast, where the sea claimed a life most sacred to the artist’s heart. Through its layered luminosity and restrained power, Cooney transforms grief into reverence, rage into release. This seminal work marks her emergence from private creation into public storytelling—an artist fully realised in her truth.

Artist Bio

Jessie Cooney is an Australian oil painter whose work explores the meeting place of science, spirit and the natural world. Her practice honours classical technique: each painting is built in luminous layers using traditional oils, a slow, deliberate process that invites time, reflection and transformation.

With a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Science and a Master's degree in Health Promotion, Jessie is fascinated with life’s intricate details- from the branching of trees to the microscopic structure of cells- observing with wonder at how energy shapes and informs them. Her paintings are quiet studies of connection and contemplation, exploring the organic and timeless nature of oils.

Through her artistry, Jessie invites you to pause, to look closely, and to remember that every creation has its own soul and a purpose unto itself. Discovering that purpose is part life's great mystery, once solved we understand the value inherent in every moment.
