Studying for his BFA and MFA in Painting at Pratt Institute Pullen was fortunate to work under artists Ernest Briggs, Edward Dugmore and George McNeil.
"I paint my imagery on constructions of wood, plexiglass, louver doors, car-hoods, etc., forming a pictorial/sculptural continuum."
He began exhibiting almost immediately after graduation, signing his first gallery contract in 1977 with the Neill Gallery in Soho, where he spent four years.

In the succeeding forty years Pullen worked with many galleries throughout the country and abroad highlighted by a 20+ year representation with Adamar Fine Arts, in Miami.
"My new series of abstract paintings began in mid-2017 and evolved over time."
"A return to my early roots in abstraction, these new works are compositions of form, color, and movement based both in nature as well as inspired by man-made cultural influences including neon, reflections, faded walls and billboards, shadows and light on walls."
Pullen has enjoyed over fifty solo exhibits and numerous group shows.
