Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we welcome author and artist Regina Linke back to the show for Part 2 to discuss her new 2026 book Little Helper.
Regina Linke is a Taiwanese American artist known for her stunning Chinese gongbi-style painting — an ancient and highly detailed form of brush painting celebrated for its colorful precision, narrative depth, and timeless beauty. Through both her visual art and storytelling, Regina brings East Asian folklore, philosophy, and cultural traditions into a modern and accessible light.
Her latest book, Little Helper, follows the character Ah-Fu as he discovers creative ways to help friends, family, and community through thoughtful problem-solving and compassion. Inspired by traditional Chinese philosophy and values, this modern fable encourages readers of all ages to think creatively, support others, and approach challenges with kindness and ingenuity.
In this interview, we discuss Chinese gongbi painting, storytelling, illustration, creativity, East Asian folklore, philosophy, Taiwanese American identity, children’s literature, visual art, cultural heritage, imaginative thinking, and the inspiration behind Little Helper. Regina also reflects on her artistic journey and the growing appreciation for traditional Asian art forms in contemporary culture.
It’s wonderful to have her back on the show. Enjoy this inspiring interview with Regina Linke.
