Born in Tularosa, New Mexico, he became a painter of western action scenes, wild animals, and Indian figures in realistic style and in the tradition of Charles Russell. He moved to Montana at age one month. He went to high school in Browning, Montana and attended Montana State University. During this time, he continued working as a cowboy, breaking and wrangling horses east of Glacier Park. Charlie Russell's summer home was near the Powell home, and the Russell's were family friends and encouraged Asa, nicknamed "Ace" in his artistic talent.
