Alexandrina Kantilla has been exhibiting her work since 2000 in the group exhibition, Pupuni Yinkiti Arimuwu Kapi Winga, Good Food- Sea Food, an ArtBack Nets Travelling Exhibition from 2000-2004.

Alexandrina works at the Ngaruwanajirri Art Centre, Bathurst Island, as a painter in natural ochres on watercolour paper and canvas and bark, on four colour lino block prints on paper, and batik- designing waxing and dyeing silk scarves using Drimarine K dyes and Naphthol dyes.

She has been included in most Ngaruwanajirri group exhibitions exhibiting long batik silk scarves. The latter, much admired for their beauty, were featured in the Darwin Supreme Court Festival of Darwin exhibition in 2006.

In 2007 her silk scarves were again featured in“Yirrinkiripwaja” a Ngaruwanajirri Group exhibition at FAC Gallery, University of Wollongong, N.S.W and in 2008 in the’ Fabulous Top End Fabrics - Exhibition of Textiles from the Tiwi Islands’ exhibition at Territory Craft.

Alexandrina Kantilla was again included in the extensive exhibition ‘Ngaruwanajirri: helping one another’ at Charles Darwin University Gallery 2011.

Recently Alexandrina has been using the traditional Tiwi body painting comb known as pwoja to create beautiful works using locally sourced ochres on paper and canvas that are based on minga (body painting).

Working quickly Alexandrina's works are lively and spontaneous giving a strong sense of the aliveness of contemporary Tiwi culture.

Alexandrina gains a sense of purpose coming to work every day at Ngaruwanajirri and enjoys the process of painting.
