Albert Molina grew up in sunny southern California and he acquired an art education at Los Angeles Pierce Jr. College. His introduction to ceramics occurred in grade school at the age of eight and since then, he has ventured into various other mediums such as oil, acrylic, and pen. However, his first love has always been ceramics. The first showings of his ceramic work were at the Napili Market Place in 2003. Albert’s life change led him to move to Maui in 1977. Following a long absence from the arts, he began taking ceramic classes at the University of Hawaii Maui and Hui No' Eau Visual Art Center. He excelled in unique and original designs as well as astonishing glass-like glazes that have been compared to blown glass due to the quality and intensity of color and sheen. He evolved to creating relief designs on his ceramics with a Hawaiian theme. The relief concept can now be seen on plaques, platters, bowls, and his famous above-vessel sinks. "My artistic goal is to create hand sculpted one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces that are functional, visually stunning, and reflect the beauty and simplicity of the Hawaiian Islands. The Land & Ocean tone glazes help to create truly unique artwork for my discerning clients."  Since 2003, Albert has shown his work at the Lahaina Banyan Tree, other craft shows throughout the island, several galleries, design centers, and tile stores both on Maui and Oahu.
