Images In Ice
Ice Queen Performances

Dominique Colell is the one and only "Ice Queen".  The "Ice Queen" performs a live ice carving show using chainsaws, chisels, and a menagerie of other tools to create amazing works of ice art.  The Ice Queen shows are themed with costumes and music and are a rush into a blizzard of Oz!

Since 1998 Images In Ice is proud to be one of the only performing female ice carving shows in the world as well as a first class ice sculpture delivery business. We pride ourselves on creating an exiting, fun, and entertaining show of ice and art. Our show has been called “an adventure into the Blizzard of Oz,” and our sculptress has been names “The Ice Queen” by Inside Edition in 1999. We work one-on-one with the organizer of the special event to make sure that our performances fit the needs and ideas of the organization. At Images In Ice, imagination and creativity are the most important elements to making a great commercial event come to life. Our company’s goals are to produce an exquisite sculpture and a thrilling show. If you're planning an event anywhere in the United States, please contact us for more information.

Images In Ice was created after Dominique Colell (owner and head ice sculptor) gained national recognition as a competitor in the 1999 Miss California pageant, where she became known as “The Ice Queen.” There she carved a 350-lb. block of ice in only 2 minutes using a chainsaw, an assortment of chisels, and an acetylene touch. Radio shows interviewed her, many newspapers published her image on the front page, and the television show Inside Edition featured a special on her life as an ice carver and artist.

While preparing for the Miss California pageant, Dominique, the Ice Queen, studied under master sculptor Gustave Stempky. Because Dominique is a young female artist in a profession reserved for big and burly men several years her senior, Dominique’s popularity has soared. She has performed her unusual talent in New York, Washington DC, Maryland, Oklahoma, Alaska, and on many stages in southern California. She is in demand at conventions, fund-raisers, civic activities, and private parties. Her costumed and themed performances naturally led to the creation of Images In Ice.

Since her pageant days, Dominique has also gained the title of Ice Alaska's official Ice Queen.  Ice Alaska is the International World Championships of Ice Sculpting and is the largest art contest in the World.

Images In Ice presently employs two workers to manage the 350-lb. blocks of ice, a costume designer, a recording engineer, a webmaster, and Dominique Colell, the artist and owner.
