Alexander studied at the Vancouver Art School and Langara College before graduating with a BFA from Notre Dame University in Nelson, BC. In 1980, he moved to Saskatoon, SK to obtain his Master's degree while researching in New York, London, and Paris. In 2006, Alexander was a special guest artist-in-residence at the Morris Graves Foundation in California, and in 2018 he was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.

His work can be found in many prominent public, private and corporate collections throughout the world, including the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Museum of London, the University of Toronto, Concordia University in Montreal, the Museum of Art in Iceland, HBC Global Art Collection in New York, and Embassies in Berlin, Beijing and Krakow.
