Amy:
I wasn't quite sure from your message if you were interested in
interviewing women who have full time jobs and are artists in their
off hours. And while I saw the consent form attached, I didn't see
the questions so I couldn't tell from that. At any rate, if so, I'd
be willing to be interviewed. I'd also be very interested in seeing
the resulting master's thesis.
