From Wikipedia (accessed 5 July 2022):

Waldo was born on April 6, 1783 in Windham, Connecticut, the son of Esther (née Stevens) and Zacheus Waldo. At the age of sixteen, he moved to Hartford to begin his formal art training under the tutelage of Joseph Steward, a prominent local artist.

Four years later, he set up shop as a portraitist in Hartford, later relocating to Litchfield, Connecticut. While in Hartford, he had made the acquaintance of congressman John Rutledge, Jr., who was impressed with his work and, in 1803, invited him to come to Charleston, South Carolina. From 1803 to 1805, Waldo earned a sizable income from his commissions and decided that he would use the money to study art in London. He studied under Benjamin West in London.

He arrived in London in 1806 with letters of introduction to Benjamin West and John Singleton Copley. While studying with them, he also studied drawing at the Royal Academy and exhibited a portrait there in 1808.

Between his artistic activities, he met and married Elizabeth Wood of Liverpool in 1808. Together they had five children that survived infancy. Elizabeth died in 1825 and the following year, on 9 May 1826, he married Deliverance Mapes and had seven more children.

In 1809, he returned to the United States and established a portrait studio in New York City.

Three years later William Jewett (d. 24 March 1874), a young coach painter from New London, Connecticut who wanted to be a fine artist, approached Waldo and asked to be taken in as an apprentice. Waldo agreed and allowed him to live with his family during his time of study. In 1818, they entered into a formal partnership which lasted until 1854, when Jewett retired. As a team, it is generally believed that Waldo painted the head and hands of their subjects, while Jewett filled in the clothing and draperies.

In addition to his painting, Waldo served as a director of the American Academy of the Fine Arts from 1817 until its dissolution in 1841. He was also a founding member of the National Academy of Design.

From the web page of the Worcester Art Museum:

Waldo's studio was popular in the second quarter of the nineteenth century, and he painted many merchants, public officials, and fellow artists. His prominent sitters include General Andrew Jackson (1817, three versions, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, Mass., and Historic New Orleans). Although he is known as a portraitist, Waldo also experimented with landscape, as he indicated in an 1819 letter to fellow painter Thomas Sully: "I have just returned from an excursion up the North River where Jewett and I have been making sketches and painting Landscapes for five weeks past."

Waldo was active in the most prestigious fine arts institutions of his day. In 1817, he was elected one of the directors of the American Academy of Fine Arts in New York. He continued in that office until the Academy was dissolved in 1840. He also exhibited portraits and copies after Old Master paintings at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. In 1826 he was among the founding members of the National Academy of Design, the New York institution that replaced the former American Academy in function and prestige. In 1846, Waldo became an associate member of the National Academy. Waldo died in 1861 and National Academy president Daniel Huntington organized a small memorial exhibition in his honor.

Notes:

He was born in New York City, as stated in both Continuation of Waldo Genealogy and the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (citation details below), but neither source mentions specifically that he was born on Staten Island. That borough appears occasionally in his fiction, notably the story "Shottle Bop."

Continuation of Waldo Genealogy (citation details below) calls him "Theodore Hamilton Sturgeon", but he was born Edward Hamilton Waldo. His name was legally changed to Edward Hamilton Sturgeon at age 11, after his mother's divorce and 1929 remarriage to William Dicky "Argyll" Sturgeon, an event unmentioned in Continuation of Waldo Genealogy. [Source: Adoption record of Edward H. Waldo, now renamed Edward H. Sturgeon, reproduced in the 2013 Open Road Integrated Media e-book edition of Sturgeon's More Than Human.]

Sturgeon wrote years later about how his first name subsequently changed from Edward to Theodore: "I was confirmed a year [after the adoption proceedings] as Theodore rather than Edward because my mother told me I didn't like to chance being called Eddy. Hindsight again: I was my father's namesake (he was always Ned, never Ted) and she wanted the crumbs swept out. (Years later when I was having therapy with Milton Kline he asked me with shocking abruptness, 'What ever happened to Edward Waldo?' It was weird. My guts contracted.) Anyway, as far as self-indentification is concerned, I was always Ted or Teddy or, to my mother, Thuddy, no matter what the legal handles were." This is from the posthumously-published chapbook Argyll: A Memoir (Pullman, Washington: The Sturgeon Project, 1993), which consists of a pair of essays in which Sturgeon grapples with his fraught relationship with his stepfather, who by modern standards was obviously a classic abuser.

Seventh cousin twice removed to Robert A. Heinlein, via John Hutchins (1604-1685) and his wife Frances (d. 1694).

Eighth cousin once removed to Fritz Leiber, via William Allen (1615-1686) and Ann Goodale (1618-1678).

Ninth cousin once removed to Damon Knight, through Thomas French (1584-1639) and Susan Riddlesdale (1584-1658); also, the same degree, through Henry Adams (1583-1646) and Edith Squire (1587-1673).

Also through Thomas French and Susan Riddlesdale, ninth cousin three times removed to John M. Ford.

Also through Henry Adams and Edith Squire, third cousin six times removed to President John Adams; fourth cousin five times removed to President John Quincy Adams; and sixth cousin four times removed to historian Henry Adams.

Through shared ancestors William Hunter (1807-1878) and Jane Curling, Theodore Sturgeon was also a second cousin once removed to Elizabeth "Lisba" Curling Hunter (1915-1971), who married Prince Chula Chakrabongse of Thailand (1908-1963), grandson of King Rama V (1853-1910) of Siam. And a third cousin to their daughter Narisa Chakrabongse (1956- ), writer, publisher, and environmental activist. And a third cousin once removed to Narisa Chakranbongse's son Hugo Chakrabongse Levy (1981- ), Thai-American actor, singer, rapper, and songwriter, who performs under the stage names "Hugo" and "Chulachak Chakranbongse."

Finally, through their common ancestors Andrew Hunter Dunn, 5th Anglican Bishop of Quebec, and his wife Alice Hunter, Theodore Sturgeon was a first cousin once removed to Joan Hunter Dunn, the inspiration for John Betjeman's much-anthologized 1941 poem "A Subaltern's Love-song."
