Jack: "There were faculty members on the committee from other visual
arts disciplines, and they expect a thesis project to result in a
finished work of art."

Without knowing the members it would seem that this is a
misunderstanding in the normal process of design and implementation. 
The produced 'work of art' should be an interactive prototype with
dummy data backed up with research.

Its possibly worth taking the time to explain the normal deliverables
of designers in the industry, and the consequences of requesting what
they perceive to be the -working- piece of art.  Maybe a brief
overview of an implemented website stack should be part of her
thesis?
