 Collyer left AAM in May 1921, and later shared a studio with Anne Savage.In 1924 the artists could no longer afford their studios; however, the surviving women members Mabel May, Lilias Newton, Mabel Lockerby, Anne Savage, Sarah Robertson, and Nora Collyer formed a network which expanded to include Prudence Heward, Kathleen Morris, and Ethel Seath.The sketching trips Collyer took as a student with Maurice Cullen resulted in a harmonious and rhythmic technique.
