Marbella Life Podcast: #33 Caroline Wendelin - From Catwalks to Canvas with Paintings in Haaland’s Villa

Today's guest is the incredibly talented artist Caroline Wendelin (31), whose massive canvases, romantic imagery, and creative life with three kids have captivated thousands online, including me. Born to a Finnish-Swedish mother and German father, she actually grew up in Andalusia and earned a teaching degree in Madrid before traveling the world as a fashion model. But no matter where life took her, art kept calling her back.  In 2020, just after becoming a mother, she turned painting into a full-time career—and she’s thriving. Her work even adorns Haaland’s villa in Marbella.  We talk about her journey, balancing work and motherhood, and her incredible social media following. You don’t want to miss this!
