Arthur William Baden Powell (known throughout his life as "Baden"), was born on 4 April 1901, at Wellington, New Zealand. He studied art under Frank and Walter Wright and at the Elam School of Art. He worked as a commercial artist and lithographer for 11 years (1918 - 1929) until he was appointed to the staff of the Auckland War Memorial Museum in 1929 as Conchologist and Palaeontologist. He was encouraged in his molluscan studies by Thomas F. Cheeseman and had acted as Honorary Conchologist for 13 years prior to his appointment to the staff. In 1936 Powell became Assistant Director, a capacity in which he served until his retirement in 1968. He continued his association with the Museum as Honorary Research Associate in Mollusca up until the time of his death on 1 July 1987, aged 86. Powell's malacological research interests were the New Zealand, Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic mollusca, specialising in the families Turridae, Speightiidae and Patellidae.
