Profile:
Having a successful career in web design in London for quite a long time, I began to deal with the fine art of expressing my emotions and feelings.
Although having earned a Certificate in University of Tel Aviv, further I continue to learn about Fine Art and design in University of the Art London and on courses throughout London and Europe.
After collecting her degree in UAL Art and Design in London, Mrs Jurita Kalite continued to do artwork and to actually start her own Fashion Design. Mrs Jurita established JuritaArt® a British Casual clothing brand in the City of Westminster of London UK at 50 years old on 27 May 2023, founded on the principle that clothing should be designed to Look Stylish and Staying Comfortable.
In 2019 founded BadBoyLove Commendation international awards for animals, aims to celebrate the unparalleled devotion and enrichment that animals bring to our lives.

2016 – current – Private lessons in painting, drawing, composition from Soviet/Estonian artist Sergey Minin.
2016 – Art class from British/France artists Carol Baker and Francine Baker.
It is important to have a way to express your feelings that are real and are taken from your own experience, from our life, beauty and nature. The purpose of my art and my philosophy is to capture something transient, through the history of art.
Nationally recognised for the quality of my work.
Have held solo exhibitions.
Have been awarded art prizes.
Have exhibited outside of my home country.
Appeared in national and specialist press.
