Robert Garlitz: Words, Watercolors, and the Quiet Power of Visibility**
For over three decades, Dr. Robert Garlitz was a fixture in the English Department at Plymouth State University — a scholar whose passion for literature, layered with a sharp eye for cultural nuance, left a lasting impression on students and colleagues alike. A soft-spoken but incisive thinker, Garlitz played a quiet but pivotal role in shaping the university’s exploration of identity, ... and aesthetics.

Garlitz's studio walls are filled with sketches and half-finished pieces — — a continuation of the same questions he once posed in class: *Who is allowed to look? Who is seen?*
Though he never sought a spotlight, Garlitz’s legacy as both an educator and artist is unmistakable. Former students recall his seminars as quietly transformative. . . . .
Now in retirement, Robert Garlitz continues to paint, to write, and to reflect. His life is an ongoing dialogue between language and image, body and mind — and an enduring testament to the ways in which one person can reshape the cultural terrain of a small town without ever raising their voice
