About the Artist

Hi All. 😊 Welcome to Happy Hippie Hemp, I'm the creator & maker, Tara I. Frederick. 

It all started when I was young kid, drawing on my bedroom walls, book covers and any place I could leave my mark. I got into my first art gallery in 2016 with my abstract paintings. Freedom of expression has always meant alot to me. A rebel and non-conformist, I've always went against the social norms and not afraid to stand up for what I believed in. 

I remember learning about hemp at a young age, this highly versatile plant, and it blew my mind that, at that time, it was illegal. Ugh, silly government! I felt so connected to this misunderstood plant and wanted to teach people about all the benefits and ways it could be used. 

Unable to find many cool hemp necklaces around, I started making my own and have been making my own for 25+ years now! I personally enjoy a nice thick hemp necklace..ooh the smell of a fresh thick necklace, so satisfying! 

Happy Hippie Hemp was started in 2022, after I realized that others are also looking for cool hemp gear to rock! I have a display stand at a local store where many people have enjoyed my very unique hemp pieces. After a year, I decided it was time to take Happy Hippie Hemp online and share with the rest of the world! 

I hope you all enjoy my hemp creations. Thank you for all the love & support. And watch out for 2024 when I'll be taking Happy Hippie Hemp on the road to music festivals, fairs, craft shows & more! Let's re-hempify the world with one necklace, bracelet, anklet or keychain at a time! ✌🏼💜🌱
