Gladys the Swiss Dairy Cow

Lebinski has created more than 50 pieces of art using the sculpture by decorating it with paint, cloth, and various other materials for each holiday.

Lebinski repaired the sculpture's smashed body and four broken legs and painted it pink.

In April 2003, the media used to create the art was expanded to include additional props and attachments.

As a result, the work was awarded "Best Appearing Float—Service Club" by the 2003 Fairfield Memorial Day Parade Committee.

In July 2003, the cow sculpture was converted into "Gladys in an Itsy-Bitsy Teenie-Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini".

The work "Gladys as a School Bus" represented the first piece that was designed to closely resemble a real-life object, and was achieved in a paint-only medium.

The use of straw, natural fiber, burlap, and organic materials was incorporated to achieve a fall motif.

Ultimately, a pot of gold prop was added, along with a second piece of public art titled "Sophie as a Leprechaun" to clarify the "pot-of-gold-at-the-end-of-the-rainbow" theme.

In August 2004, the cow sculpture was transformed into a tribute to the Fairfield Fire Department, Station 2.

The use of additional props was expanded to incorporate day-visible ornaments, presents, and a Christmas tree, as well as night-visible multicolored lights.

In April 2005, the cow sculpture, was designed in a Spring/Easter scheme and represented the first use of a sponge painting technique to achieve the green grass effect, with sufficient fading to deliver a suitable image.
