Her creativity has caught the attention of many locals, including Matt Jerome, who moved to the town in 2024.

He said he first noticed the models while walking his dogs, Oz and Dexter, soon after he moved.

“I do always look forward to seeing what might end up on the fence next, but Oz probably doesn’t agree as he always gets a jumpscare whenever there’s a new one,” the 33-year-old said.

His favourite character to spot was Stitch, the title character from the 2002 Disney film Lilo & Stitch, he added.

More than 1,000 people reacted to a photo of the Winkleman model on Facebook, including several other locals who said they enjoyed the design.

Asked what would come next, Kulesa said she was considering making a model of Winnie-the-Pooh to coincide with the character’s 100th birthday, but the yellow bear’s stature meant it would be a longer-term project.
