Special Work Visa for Prominent Jewelry Designer from Spain / Tourist Visa Law Changed?

My friend is a prominent jewelry designer from Spain, winning several international jewelry design awards, including the Debeers Diamond Contest. She is trying to work in New York City, looking for a company to sponsor her, she currently only has a tourist visa, which I believe is good for 3 months of stay in the USA. She is now back in Spain but is looking to return back to NY to search again for work.
First, is there a new law for tourist visas? Is it true that now you can stay in the USA for not longer than 30 days, and returning to home country, you may not come back to the USA until 6 months after?
Second, are there any special visa issued to those inviduals whose professions are unique/scarce in the USA? Or any special visa for those whose talents are considered beneficial?
Any info would be greatly appreciative. Thank you....
