Valoy Eaton studied art at Brigham Young University before moving to California with plans to study at the Art Center in Los Angeles. Remaining on the waitlist, Eaton and his wife moved back to Utah, where he got a job as an art teacher at a local high school. While painting at night, he returned to Brigham Young for more training, worked with Dale Fletcher, and received his Master of Arts degree in 1971. Eaton left his teaching position in 1975 and participated in the Annual Exhibit of the National Academy of Western Art. He was awarded the silver medal at the Royal Western Watercolor Show in Oklahoma City the following year. He has since exhibited throughout the United States in Chicago, Houston, New York, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, and Salt Lake City.

Eaton is an executive member of the National Academy of Western Art. His work is in the collections of the Brigham Young University School of Law; the Springville Museum of Art; the Fort Worth National Bank; the J. Evetts Haley History Center; and Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah.
