This is BS. You have no idea why your daughter was released, and either does she. But I'm pretty darn sure it wasn't because you're an artist. The truth is that most women are released from one house or another because they just weren't remarkable - meaning they didn't stand out enough to the members of that house. You weren't in the room with your daughter and the other PNMs, so you have no idea what her competition was.
ETA: ...because these kind of excuses bug the crap out of me. Listen, the women who do the best at recruitment are the ones that not only look great on paper, but have an amazing capability to have a conversation with anyone about anything. They are master conversationalists. They listen to the person they're engaged with, respond enthusiastically to things they say, and in turn ask questions. They have charisma and an energy about them that instinctively turns others on. That type of thing, combined with the good conversation and great resume, leads to a very favorable impression, which needless to say is better than someone who you recall was just perfectly nice and lovely.
