Probably an etching. An "artist's proof" was usually preliminary printing to make sure the art was up to that artist's standards.

Artist Proof are often more desired by collectors as it shows the process that the artist used to create their work. Ideally the number of artist proofs for a pieces very small, single digits. Some artists, however, abuse that by cranking out numerous copies and labeling them "artist proofs" to get more money from them.
A quick search showed nothing for an artist named Janet Hilebrand, so this may have been a work by an art student.
Thank you so very much for your help.
It is not Janet Hilebrand who made this but Janet Hildebrand.
The ArtSea Gallery presented abstract acrylic paintings by Janet Hildebrand from April 26 – May 2 last year in Sidney, British Columbia, Canada.
Maybe you should ask them for information.
