Can you have a good balance with your faith and your artistic choices? Today’s guest, Ariel Hope Santerelli would say yes. I have known this young lady since 2011, when she was only 16. We joined her church that year, where her father is the pastor, and saw her singing her heart out with the praise team. I could tell this girl was a natural born performer.
Ariel began acting in the church’s live Nativity walkthrough called “Road to Bethlehem”, playing the role of Mary for several years. Then, someone recommended she audition for a play. She did and went on to perform in several local stage musicals, including “The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe”, “Anne of Avonlea” and “Godspell”.
She further expanded her resume doing commercial and indie film roles.
Ariel was also drawn to the world of modeling, having been on numerous photo shoots.
And when she finds the time, Ariel also dabbles in craft work.
This is something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile. Interview someone at the start of the career and see where the road takes them. And Ariel has experienced and learned a lot already in the creative field and offers some impressive wisdom at such a young age.
I am sure you will enjoy my chat with Ariel Hope Santerelli.
