Nothing on Ancestry for migration.
Only birth, baptism and death
Her father died, as I'm sure you know, in 1894. perhaps that event prompted her to leave the UK

This appears to be her in 1892 at Penzance School of Art.

Just been told Anna Dorothea Tonkin left England between 1897 & 1899

That’s as near as you’re likely to get, as there are no online travel records for either Anna or Agnes
