Gladys the Swiss Dairy Cow, also known simply as "Gladys", is a locally well-known work of public art in the U.S. state of Connecticut. Gladys was created and has been continuously updated by artist/owner James Lebinski since August 2002. The underlying sculpture is a fiberglass Swiss dairy cow, and is the same shape and size as the famous CowParade cows.
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. Gladys was displayed in Fairfield, Connecticut from October 2002 until April 2006, and can currently be found in Monroe, Connecticut.
