     Oxnard's Transportation Center has been graced by new murals by artist Maxfield Bala of BALA CREATIVE.

     He was commissioned by the city to create two interior, 360-degree murals on the second-floor mezzanine.

     The murals span Oxnard's Chumash history and agricultural beginnings, to modern day landmarks and points of interest.

     There is also an entryway collage of Oxnard's beaches and Channel Islands National Park.

     Bala also created and hand painted a 474-square foot "Greetings from Oxnard" mural on the exterior wall of the train station facing east toward the tracks.

     Since the transportation center is literally the hub for rail and bus service for people traveling throughout the county, the state, and even the nation, officials felt it was the perfect location for a dramatic artistic vision of the city, it's citizens, and its history.
